Consumption of radish helps protect liver and stomach. It acts as a detoxifier. It purifies blood and eliminates toxins and waste from the body. Hence it is good in treating jaundice. Since it is rich in fibre, it helps treat piles. If you are on weight loss, you should add radish to your diet. Radish are diuretic in nature and can be used to treat urinary tract infections. Apart from this, radish can be used to treat various types of cancers and cardiovascular conditions.

What an intriguing recipe. I’ve never heard of paratha before and never really considered radish to be a breakfast food. It looks great!

I love radish and the wonderful addition of all those spices! They are all very good for you too! I have never paratha! It looks fantastic, though!
