Radish paratha

Ingredients:
For stuffing:
Radish - 1 , grated
Coriander leaves
Garlic - 2 cloves
Green chillies - 1 or 2 (according to your taste)
dhaniya powdder - 1 tsp
2 tsp lemon juice
salt
oil

For dough:
Atta
Rice flour -optional
Maida-optional

Method:
Make dough as usual with atta. Here I tried a variation - I used atta and rice flour of equal quantity and maida double the quantity. For example, if you take  1/2 cup atta, take 1/2 cup rice flour and 1 cup maida.
For the stuffing:
Grate the radish and mix in little salt. Let it take rest for sometime, keep aside. ;-)
Crush the green chillies and garlic together into a very fine mixture. Make sure you don't have big chilli pieces, it might land in your kid's first bite and make him/her run away!!!! Mix in the dhaniya powder, finely minced coriander leaves, lemon juice and required salt.
Take a small ball size dough and roll it to a thin circle. Now, keep a tsp of the stuffing on one half of the circle spreading it evenly. Fold the other half and pinch the ends with wet fingers. Then roll it again dusting with flour now and then.
Heat a tawa and place the rolled paratha on it. Apply ghee or oil on the top gently and turn over. Apply the same on the other side. When you see it rising bubbles here and there turn over. Remove as soon as it bubbles again. The radish paratha is cooked slightly brown on both sides. 
Serve with favorite chutney or dal.
And don't worry about one or two which goes into your stomach while making. ;-)
Suitable for lunch box.
