About:

This is Indian flat bread stuffed with Mooli (Radish) and Oats. It can be served for breakfast/lunch with any yogurt or curry of choice. This stuffed breads needs a good sturdy dough as the radish oozes out water even after squeezing it so the oats helps to imbibe the water and makes a stiff stuffing. The spicy and flavourful stuffing makes it tasty and can be relished on its own. It is a perfect, easy to carry dish for long journeys and picnic and brings a welcome break from routine stuffed Aloo (Potato) Paratha as it has little spicy touch.

Quantity: 7-8 parathas
