    Mooli Ajwain Paratha: A Crisp, Fluffy Indian Flatbread Recipe

    Mooli Ajwain Paratha tastes simple, but getting it right depends on balance; how well you squeeze the radish, how dry the filling stays, and how elastic the dough feels. Using Aashirvaad Shudh Chakki Atta helps because its whole-wheat grind keeps the dough steady, even with a moist stuffing. The ajwain adds warmth, the radish stays fresh, and every fold carries a clean, earthy flavour.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Prepare the batter

In a mixing bowl, add gram flour, rawa, green chilli paste, turmeric, asafoetida, curd, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix well to form a thick, lump-free batter. Add water gradually to adjust consistency. Rest the batter for 5 minutes so it becomes airy and light.

 

Description - Step 2

Step 2: Steam the dhokla

Grease a steel or glass mould with oil. Pour the batter into the mould, filling it halfway to allow space for rising. Place the mould in a steamer and cook on medium flame for 10-12 minutes. Check by inserting a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the dhokla is cooked.

 

Description - Step 3

Step 3: Make the tempering

While the dhokla steams, prepare the tempering. Heat oil in a small pan and add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves, and a pinch of asafoetida. Let the seeds crackle and release their aroma. Toasted sesame seeds are added at the end for extra crunch and nutty flavour.

Step 4: Finish and cut

Once the dhokla is cooked, carefully remove it from the steamer. Pour the hot tempering evenly over the surface. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top. Allow it to cool for a minute, then cut into square or triangular pieces. Serve warm and enjoy its soft, spongy texture.
