Prepare a soft piable chapathi dough by adding 2 cups wheat flour,pinch of salt n tsp of oil n 1 cup luke warm water.

Now take the grated raddish take little bit of it in ur palm n squeeze it hard until it leaks out all the water,repeat the process for the rest of the raddish.

Immediately add the onions,green chillies,cilantro n the masala along with chilli pwd.(raddish oozes out water very fast so be fast with it or before making each paratha just squeeze out the excess water).

Now take a lemon size ball off the chapathi dough n roll it into a small puri,with a thick centre n thinner edges.

Put a Tbsp of the grated raddish stuffing in the centre of the puri,and bring all the ends togeather n twist n flatten.

Dust it with some flour n keep rolling it like a chapathi,If u see bubbles just prick it with a fork,once u get the desired thickness put it on a hot tawa/pan.

Cook on both sides until u see brown spots on it add tsp of oil or butter.

Serve with cool cucumber n onion raita and hot pickle of ur choice.
