Mooli Ka Paratha

Mooli Ka Paratha is a great alternative to standard plain paratha. This item is itself quite heavy and can be served with just coriander chutney, pickles or even tomato ketchup (maggi hot and sweet is the best option). This dish is quite delicious and is perfect choice when there’s not much inventory left in your kitchen for full fledged side dishes. The Mooli Ka Paratha Recipe does take a bit of time as you have to prepare at least 2 per person and each of them will take some time to get fully cooked. But the result is really good and the Mooli ka paratha will be thoroughly enjoyed by everyone when prepared once in while.
