Directions :

• Shred the moolis , sprinkle salt , mix well and keep aside for 10-15 minutes. This will ooze out the water from raddish.
• Squeeze out the water from the raddish and keep aside. Do not throw this water. use this water to knead the dough.
• Add cilantro, green chillies, ajwain to the raddish and mix well.
• Divide the dough into equal sized balls ( little bigger than a lemon ). And divide raddish mixture into the same number of portions.
• Roll out one dough ball into a small disc with the help of a rolling pin.
• Place one portion of the raddish filling at the center of the rolled out disc.
• Slowly lift the edges and bring together in the center to form like a pouch.
• Press the ends together tightly to seal the pouch. Gently press between both your palms to flatten a bit.
• Dust this into the dry aata ( dry flour ) once , and gently roll out the paratha, with light hands, making sure the filling doesn't come out. But if little bit of filling oozes out, don't worry. It's ok.
• Place the paratha on a hot skillet ot tava.
• When you see small bubbles appear on the surface of the paratha, flip it over.
• You will see small brown spots on the surface of the paratha. Coat the surface with ghee or butter. Again flip over.
• Sprinkle some ghee or butter to this side as well and gently press it all over.
• The paratha is done when both sides are crispy and golden brown.

Serve them hot with cold raita and pickle.
