Preparation Time: Under 20 minutes
Cooking Time: Under 30 minutes
Serves: 2 people

INGREDIENTS:

Whole wheat flour - 1.5 cups ( I used aashirvaad whole wheat flour)
Salt - as required
Grated carrot - 1/3 cup
Grated radish - 1/3 cup
Coriander powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Cumin powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Garam masala - 1/2 teaspoon
Kasturi Methi (dried fenugreek leaves) - 1/2 teaspoon
Oil - 1 tablespoon
Ajwain/carom seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
Asafoetida powder - as required
Water - to kneed the dough

METHOD:

1. In a bowl, take 1.5 cups of whole wheat flour. In that , add grated carrot , radish, coriander powder,cumin powder, garam masala, kasturi methi, oil, ajwain, asafoetida powder and salt. Mix the contents well. Do not add water now. Allow the contents to rest for 15 minutes. Because, the radish itself will let out some water. After 15 minutes, the flour will turn little wet.

2. Now add the required water and kneed well to make a dough. Remember, this dough needs very less water when compared to normal chappathi dough, because it has radish in it. So add water little by little and kneed a firm dough.

3.  Allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes. Then take large lemon sized balls, and flatten them using roller . Cook them on both sides on a pan by adding oil.

4. Carrot, radish paratha is ready. Serve with pickle or curd or any favourite curry of your choice.
