Radish Leaves Thepla | Mooli Leaves Paratha

We had a nice veggie garden during summer this year. Our little backyard was filled with many veggie crops for last couple of months. Radish or Moolangi was one of them, which we had a good crop. By the time COVID lockdown started, our veggies were ready for harvest. Prices of fruits and vegetables have risen drastically these days. Our home grown veggies have reduced the grocery bills to some extent. Now, its time to wind up the veggie garden as the winter is approaching. 
Here is one of my favourite recipe, Radish leaves thepla or Mooli leaves paratha..

  • Salt - to taste
  • Sugar - 1 1/2 tsp

Method:

  • Take one ball at a time, dip in dry flour and roll it into thin circle. Repeat the same with all the dough balls. 
  • Cook the rolled circles on the hot tawa on both the sides. Drizzle a few drops of oil or ghee (clarified butter) while cooking.
  • Serve hot Thepla along with your favourite side dish.
