Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the hot tawa. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles appear. Flip and apply ghee or oil on the cooked side. Flip again and apply ghee/oil on the other side. Press the paratha lightly with a spatula for even cooking. Cook until both sides are golden brown and crispy. Repeat the process for all the mooli-stuffed parathas.
