Mooli Paratha (White Radish)

Mooli or Radish is rich in folic acid and potassium and is a good source for vitamins. One can prepare salad through grated Radish/Mooli. Just add 2-3 Tbsp of Curd and Salt to the grated Mooli and have it with Chapati or Roti or have it directly. This salad helps those who suffer from constipation. Many people love to have leaves of Mooli by preparing salads out of them. Mooli is extensively used in Rajasthani cooking unlike in other parts of India where it's mainly considered as a salad vegetable.

From her i learned to cook Rasam also. But Rasam doesn't taste well until unless its not hot and spicy so i was left with the task to find out hot chilly's in Seoul.
