Paratha Roti (Buss Up Shut)

Paratha, also known as buss up shut is a local Indian dish which is usually accompanied by other Indian dishes such as curried channa (chick peas) and potato, curried chicken and some sort of amchar just to name a few. Served best when hot.

Here is my recipe for soft Paratha Roti.





INGREDIENTS

4 cups flour
4 tsps baking powder
1 tsp yeast
1 tbsp Brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 2/3 cups water
3 tbsp butter
1 1/2 tbsp lard
Oil for cooking


METHOD

Mix together butter and lard in a bowl and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients together. Combine and then add water. Knead to a soft dough, sprinkle extra flour if you find it to be a little sticky at first. Form 6 loyas or balls and set aside to rest for about 15 minutes. Roll out dough after 15 minutes of resting. Spread the butter and lard mixture and sprinkle with flour. Make a cut from the center out to the edge and roll to make a cone. Press the peak and flatten the center of the cone. Set aside for 15-30 minutes. After 15-30 minutes, roll out on a floured surface. Coat hot tawah with oil using a spoon or a brush. Place the dough into the tawah. Spread the oil on one side then turn over onto the other side to cook. Spread oil on the other side as well. When cooked on both sides, use your dabla to beat or break up the Roti. This gives it the flaky appearance.
Cook on medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
