Muli Paratha

My runny nose is now a stuffy nose. I have been popping in pills the entire day but no relief. Logged into my blog and was pleased to see so many wishes from my loving blog friends ..... that made me feel a little better as I read through them sipping a cup of hot ginger tea. I have lost my appetite because of these pills. But I started getting hungrier after reading through all these yummilicious recipes. But staring at the laptop did no good to me ...... stuffy nose + headache !!

I crawled back into the bed and rubbed some Vicks Vaporub on my nose ....... but no instant relief. That only happens in the Vaporub Ad ........ wished I could sue the company. Tried sleeping for sometime but no luck. Woke up with heavy head and body ache. J made some nice hot ginger tea again ..... he has been very patient with me today. Dunked Parle G into the hot tea and ate away ..... yah it was time again to pop in a pill.

Today's dinner is Maggi ....... can't dump this comfort food that I have been having since ages. No, I am not posting the Maggi recipe ..... it's there on the wrapper.

It's time to post Muli Paratha .... it's been sitting on my draft for ages .....

Preparation Time - 30 minutes

Serves - 2

Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 2 cups

Grated Muli - 2 cups

Grated Garlic - 2 tsp

Lemon juice - 1 tsp

Red Chili Powder - 1/2 tsp

Cumin Powder - 1/2 tsp

Coriander Powder - 1/2 tsp

Turmeric Powder - 1 pinch

Salt per taste

Butter for spreading

Method of Preparation

1 Take the grated muli and squeeze the muli juice out by pressing it in your hands. Keep the muli juice.

2 Knead the flour like you do for roti and plain paratha using the muli juice and water. You may add a little salt and oil to the wheat flour while kneading. Cover with a wet cloth and keep aside.

3 Drizzle a little oil in a pan. Add grated garlic and fry for a minute.

4 Then add the grated muli to it and fry for 5 minutes. Add salt, cumin, coriander and red chili powder and fry for another 3 minutes till there is no moisture left. Add lemon juice and mix well.

5 Remove to another dish and let it cool.

6 Pinch out balls from the kneaded dough. Make a small cup and stuff the muli into it. Close from all sides.

7 Dust these filled balls with some flour and roll out to make parathas.

8 Heat a tawa and cook the paratha equally on both sides. Spread a little butter or ghee on the partha.

Serving Tips

Serve warm with yogurt or with raita.

Notes

Make sure the dough is not very watery or soft, else it will be difficult to roll the paratha.
