mooli jowar roti recipe | healthy radish jowar chapati | Indian style jowar mooli bhakri | sorghum radish paratha is a nourishing and filling Indian bread. Learn how to make Indian style jowar mooli bhakri.
To make mooli jowar roti, combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl and knead into a soft dough, using enough hot water. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll out each portion between two sheets of greased plastic into a circle of 100 mm (4") diameter. You will need 1/4 tsp oil to grease each plastic sheet. Once 3 rotis are rolled, grease both the sheets again. Heat non-stick tava (griddle) and cook each roti using 1/4 tsp of oil, till it turns golden brown in colour from both sides. Serve hot with fresh curds.
Jowar has a rustic and homely flavour, which you will start preferring over even wheat flour once you develop a taste for it. Here, we have reinforced the jowar flour with grated mooli in the form of Indian style jowar mooli bhakri, which gives a splendid flavour and aroma upon cooking.
Not only that, the moisture from the mooli keeps the sorghum radish paratha quite soft too, unlike plain jowar rotis, which tend to be a bit tough while rolling at times. Since this roti is perked up with ginger-garlic paste and other spice powders, it is enough to just serve it with a cup of curds or raita.
Weight-watchers, heart patients and diabetics can also enjoy this healthy radish jowar chapati with slight modification. The fibre in it is beneficial for all of them. However, they need to reduce the amount of oil used in the dough to 1 tsp to make it more nourishing. Enjoy these rotis for Breakfast, lunch or dinner. At 99 calories, we suggest 2 rotis as a serving size.
Tips for mooli jowar roti. 1. Ensure to make a soft dough so rolling becomes easier. Also if the dough is hard, the rotis tend to become hard too. 2. Roll them between 2 greased sheets of plastic as mooli tends to leave water and rolling without it is difficult. 3. Finally serve it immediately to enjoy its best texture and flavours.

This is a really quick and easy recipe. A nice way to use radish into the recipe. I have it for salad, but always use to wonder how we can use it in some other way. This recipe tastes sooo good that infact my husband who does not like radish also loved this roti..
