    Radish

    in India: Dining

    Posted

    Hey w@w,

    I usually prepare this recipe with Radish..

    Mooli Ke Paranthe

    The Filling for the Parantha:

    2 big Radish (Mooli)

    1.5 to 2 cups gram flour (Besan)

    2 tsp Vegetable Oil

    Cumin seeds, Salt, Red powdered pepper and Turmeric powder as per taste.

    For the cover:

    Make dough out of wheat flour as you would do for any parantha.

    Method:

    Grate the radishes.

    Remove all the water from it by pressing it hard between your palms.

    Take the oil in a vessel and heat it.

    Add the cumin seeds and allow them splutter.

    Add the grated radish and cook till it starts leaving the sides of the vessel.(Keep stirring so that it does not stick to he vessel)

    Then add the salt, red powdered pepper and turmeric powder and roast it.

    Finally add the gram flour and keep stirring till the besan (gram flour) is roasted. Your filling is ready.

    Now whenever the paranthas are to be made, form small balls from the above mixture.

    Roll the dough a bit, put a ball into it and fold it. Then again roll it into a parantha.

    Put it on the pan and cook it as you do in the case of any parantha.

    Serve hot with yogurt spiced with jeera powder,salt & red chilli powder..

    The taste is delicious...Do try it out & lemme know the result..

    Happy Cooking.

    Cheers,

    Hello Everyday,

    I appreciate for all the responses given to my post..

    I am actually looking for recipes, which give me the Restaurant TASTE..i just can’t figure out how the chefs can prepare so deliciously..i do feel jealous of them to be honest..!!

    I do try the recipe several times using different methods but every time the taste is different than the Restaurant taste that I long for..

    For ex:- I guess a month back I had Paneer Butter Masala as a main dish along with Thali for my dinner & the curry was so tasty..

    The color was royal orange & the consistency was perfect & I can hardly describe the taste..it was heavenly & piping hot..!!

    Even the paneer chunks were just great & guess wht I finished the complete curry,thts obvious though..!!

    I remember having Punjabi Lassi & Hara Bhara Paratha in SFO last year..even till date the taste is lively in my memories..

    Its like the list is endless..!! the recipes I prepare r good but not enough to satisfy my taste buds completely.!!

    I hope I am not boring u all too much…Once again thanks for all ur comments.

    Have a nice day,

    Laks. :smile:

    Hello eGulletters,

    I am Lakshmi & am from Atlanta,USA. I am a housewife & cooking is my passion. I enjoyed eGullet.com a couple of days ago.I have been browsing around & this site is truly amazing..!!!

    Recently i have been too obssessed with cooking & i am now into trying Veg Indian recipes the "RESTAURANT" style. I do visit www.bawarchi.com & other few sites but not always do i get the SAME taste to satisfy myself & my taste buds.

    I just don't understand why i can't prepare like the same way. I sometimes long for the foods i had & i do love trying out the recipes in different ways.

    I would appreciate if anyone could give me any pointers in this regard.

    Looking forward to all your posts.

    Thanks,

    Laks :smile:
