Radish Paratha / Mooli ke Parathe

These days I am busy gathering lunch box recipes for my little one who has to take her lunchbox to school as she will be in school till 4. So daily I have to think about new dishes, because if I repeat the dishes, I know the box will be back as it is. I used to make different kinds of rotis, parathas and many more rice dishes, but I never made this radish paratha since I never liked the radish smell. Once the radish gets cooked, we couldn’t figure out that the dish contains radish. So tried making this paratha and completely loved it.


Mooli or radish paratha is another stuffed flat bread. In this paratha, the grated radish is well blended with spices that is stuffed in wheat dough and made into parathas. This is an easy dish which can be taken along for long journeys, does not require any side dish. These parathas are great when smeared with butter and eaten along with thick curd or pickle.


Ingredients:
  1. Wheat Flour- 2 Cups
  2. Salt- as required
  3. Oil- 1 tbsp
  4. Water- to knead the dough
  5. Radish- 2 nos
  6. Ajwain- 1 tsp
  7. Onions- 1 no
  8. Salt- as required
  9. Turmeric Powder- ½ tsp
  10. Red Chilli powder- 1 tsp
  11. Coriander Powder- 1 tsp
  12. Garam Masala Powder- 1 tsp
Method:

  1. Knead the wheat flour, oil and salt along with water to form a pilable dough.Keep this aside for sometime.
  2. Meanwhile grate radish and keep this aside for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, squeeze the grated radish to remove excess water. We can add this water to knead the dough.
  3. Heat a pan with oil. Add ajwain, when it splutters add the chopped onions and fry till it turns translucent.
  4. In this add the turmeric powder, red chilli powder, garam masala powder and coriander powder. When the raw smell disappears add the squeezed radish, salt and stir well. Close with a lid for about 5- 10 minutes. When it is done, transfer to a dish.
  5. Divide the dough and radish stuffing into equal number of balls and roll each dough slightly and keep the filling inside and pull all the edges to the center, cover the filling with the dough and spread into thick parathas.
  6. Heat a tawa, drizzle some oil, cook both the sides and serve along with butter, pickle and curd.

Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

Image
It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni
