mooli palak paratha recipe | radish spinach paratha | healthy mooli palak paratha for weight loss is a satiating one dish meal in itself. Learn how to make radish spinach paratha.

To make mooli palak paratha, for the dough combine the spinach, lemon juice and 1 tbsp of water and blend in a mixer to a smooth paste. Transfer the paste into a bowl, add all the remaining ingredients and knead into a semi-soft dough using enough water. Cover and keep aside for 10 minutes. For the stuffing, sprinkle a little salt over the radish and keep aside for 10 to 15 minutes. Squeeze out all the water and discard it. Add the coriander and green chillies and mix well. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll a portion into a 150 mm. (6”) diameter roti using a little whole wheat flour for rolling. Place a portion of the stuffing in the centre, bring all the sides together in the centre and seal it tightly. Again roll into a 150 mm. (6") diameter circle, using a little whole wheat flour for rolling. Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and cook the paratha, using a little oil, till it turns golden brown in colour from both sides. Repeat steps 2 to 5 to make 7 more parathas. Serve hot.

The radish spinach paratha is different in every way. Spinach is used in the dough, while the radish is made into a flavourful stuffing. As a variation, instead of making routine stuffed parathas here the radish mix is spread on a cooked paratha, which is then folded in half to make a crescent-shaped delight.

Typically, the radish spinach parathas are made with equal quantities of wheat flour and maida, but here we have made healthy mooli palak paratha for weight loss to make them more nutritious. Wheat flour adds fibre which helps in weight loss and also controls blood cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

Spinach and mooli both are quite nourishing. It abounds in iron, vitamin A, vitamin C, fibre and antioxidants which can boost overall health. Mooli palak paratha can be enjoyed as it is without any accompaniment.

Tips for mooli palak paratha. 1. You may need very little water to knead the dough because of the use of spinach puree. So be careful while adding water to make a semi-stiff dough. 2. Sprinkling salt over radish and squeezing out its water is important to get rid of its raw taste. So do not miss out on this step. 3. Rolling these parathas is slightly an art. You need to roll them with minimal pressure.
