Servings: 6 paranthas
Rate the Recipe:
Start the winter season on a healthy note with Jowar Mooli Paranthas. Packed with nutrients, these gluten-free paranthas work perfectly for breakfast or lunch.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups jowar (sorghum) flour
- 1 cup grated radish
- 1/2 cup chopped radish leaves
- 1-2 chopped green chillies
- 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp Kashmiri red chilli powder
- 1 tsp crushed coriander seeds (dhania)
- 1/2 tsp carom seeds (ajwain)
- 1/2 tsp garam masala powder
- 1 tsp kasoori methi (dry fenugreek leaves)
- 2-3 tbsp oil
Instructions
- Peel and grate the radish. Keep aside. Do not remove the water.
- To prepare the dough, take the jowar flour in a large bowl. Add in the grated radish, chopped radish leaves, green chillies, and ginger garlic paste.
- Next, add in the dry masalas – salt, Kashmiri red chilli powder, coarsely crushed coriander seeds, carom seeds, garam masala powder, crushed kasoori methi, and 1 tsp oil. Knead it into a soft dough using hot water.
- Divide it into equal portions. Place a portion on butter paper or a plastic sheet and press down with fingertips until evenly spread. To make it smoother, you can also use a rolling pin. Roll it out no more than 4” in diameter making sure it is not too thin.
- Heat a tawa or a griddle. Place the parantha and cook on medium heat on both sides till it starts to colorize. Brush with oil and turn it over. Press it down a bit. Cook the parantha on both sides until done.
- The Jowar Mooli Parantha is ready to serve. Serve hot with raita and pickle.
Notes
- Make sure to use hot water to knead the dough for soft paranthas.
- Smaller-sized paranthas are easier to handle since larger-sized ones disintegrate when rolling out.

Love mooli parathas in winter. Have given up wheat due to gluten energy, so jowar aata is good idea. Certainly trying this paratha soon.

Jowar aata is everyday things for us. Jawar Paratha is something new. We used to make jowar bhakari which taste yummy with mutton curry or any leafy vegetables. Muli + Jowar combination taste yummy. Certainly trying out. Thank you for new recipe.

Interesting! Didn’t know you can use radish to do this! I recently have been seeing more and more radish dishes which amazes me especially when I grew up knowing just one dish using it!haha

I make mooli ka paratha, but with whole wheat flour. Never thought of trying it with Jowar. I will definitely give it a try. I can imagine how it will taste.

Yummy in my Tummy! 😀 This was delish and tasted as good as it looked. Mooli parathas are my favorite and this is a more healthier alternative.

It’s been ages since I ate mooli parathas. This version without atta looks very tempting. But I will struggle to roll out the rotis I think😛 cuz it’s no gluten.
I have a question Madhu Ma’am. Won’t the radish leave water in the dough?
Madhu

Thank you so much Beta. Yes it will leave water, but that will be sufficient for kneading 😊
