MOOLI PARATHA/RADISH PARATHA/LUNCH BOX RECIPES

Mooli Paratha is a paratha with radish filling alongwith some mild spices.It is a stuffed paratha and tastes awesome even after eating hours after it is made.I make this one in a while for my daughter’s lunch box and each time she would complain there was not much left for her,since her friends snatched hers.So nowadays iam making 2-3 extra parathas so that all can enjoy.I  have some nice memories of mom making these for school during my time and it was the same with me as well.History repeats itself.Now to the recipe..
