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.
I was not prepared to cook mooli paratha, but i had no choice other then mooli paratha. This was my first attempt to cook this paratha's, fortunately it come out very well and very tasty also.... me eatting mooli is very hard because of the smell.
