Paratha Roti (buss up shot):

Recipe serves 4

Ingredients

 4 cups flour

 4 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 oz margarine, butter or ghee
1 3/4 cups water

Directions

Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl for mixing.
Add enough water to form a smooth soft dough. Knead and leave for about 1/2 hour, covered with a damp cloth. Knead again, then divide dough into 4 balls
Flour kneading area and roll dough into ~8" circles. Spread liberally, margarine/butter/ghee over dough and sprinkle w/ flour. Cut dough from the centre to edge.  Roll dough tightly into a cone shape, then press peak of cone into centre and flatten. Leave again for 1/2 hour. Sprinkle flour on kneading area and roll out till very thin. Bake on a moderately hot tawah (large skillet if you don't have one), coating dough on both sides with oil as it cooks. Turn on both sides and cook about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Remove from tawah and hit with wooden palette until flaky

Quick Facts

When any of the griddle breads are ripped apart for dipping in curries, they are called "buss-up-shut," vernacular for "burst-up-shirt," because they resemble torn-up cloth. When left whole, they are stuffed with any curried meat, seafood, or vegetables and rolled up in the manner of a burrito.
