- Apply some Vegetable Oil on the flattened dough. Now take spoonful of stuffing, add some Salt to it, mix it and seal the stuffing inside the flattened dough. Now round it with fingers.
- Roll the stuffed dough ball to create a circular shape Paratha using the rolling pin until it is 6 -7 inches in size. Make sure you apply the pressure evenly while rolling and sprinkle small quantities of dry wheat flour while rolling so that Paratha does not stick to the surface.
- Once done put your Mooli Paratha in the frying pan and let it cook for a minute on one side, flip it over to the other side and apply some Vegetable Oil. Again after a minute or so flip the Paratha and apply some more Vegetable oil on the other side. Ensure the gas is on medium flame or else the Mooli Paratha will not be crispy and soft.2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- Roast it for sometime from both sides. Ensure it does not burn by keeping on gas for too long.

Notes
Few considerations while cooking and serving -
