Trinidad Paratha Roti (Buss up Shot)
Serves 6-8
Ingredients
For kneading
2 cups organic unbleached all purpose flour
1 teaspoons aluminum free baking powder
½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon raw brown sugar
3/4 cups lukewarm water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
For filling the dough
4 tablespoons clarified butter (ghee) or organic butter (or coconut oil for vegan option)
flour for dusting

To cook the paratha:
1/4 cup vegetable oil

STEP 1: Knead flour
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
2. Gradually add water to make a shaggy soft dough.
3. Rub 1 tablespoon oil over dough. Cover with a cloth and let rest for 15-30 minutes.

STEP 2: Filling and wrapping paratha

1. Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces.
2. Press each dough into a circle using fingers or rolling pin. Using your fingers (or the bottom of a spoon) rub the surface of the dough with clarified butter.
3. Sprinkle with flour. Cut dough downwards from middle of the top edge (12 o'clock) to the center of the dough.
4. Roll clockwise into a cone.
5. Take the end of the dough and tuck it under the cone.
6. Push the tip of the cone downwards into the dough.
7. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.

STEP 3: Cooking the paratha
1. When ready to cook the roti, heat tawa, dry cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium heat until hot.
2. Working with one ball of dough at a time (keep the remaining dough covered) and using just enough flour to prevent sticking to counter and rolling pin, press dough into a small flat circle (about 4 inches).
3. Using the rolling pin, roll the dough. Flip, rotate and roll until it becomes a thin, even 10 inch round, making sure that the edges are not thick. If you can't make it round, don't worry, it tastes just as good.
4. Pick up the dough, place it on the palm of your hand and lay it on the tawa by quickly flipping your hand over the tawa.
5. Drizzle or brush about 1/2 tablespoon oil over the surface of the roti. Flip.
6. Drizzle or brush oil over the other side. Flip.
7. Cook for a few seconds more, spinning roti slowly in a clockwise direction to allow the oil to spread and the roti to cook evenly, about 15 seconds.
8. Turn and repeat on the other side, cook another 15 seconds.
9. When roti is fully cooked, use a wooden spatula to beat the roti gently, accumulating the edges toward the center (start at the top and work your way down), until the layers separate.
10. Remove the roti from the tawa and wrap the roti immediately in a clean, dry cloth.
11. Repeat rolling out and cooking the remaining dough, stacking and wrapping the finished roti in the cloth. Once they are all cooked, let them rest in the cloth for 10-15 minutes before serving. During this time, they will steam themselves, becoming soft and pliable.

Storing
Well-wrapped roti keep in the freezer up to a month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat before using.

For anyone watching this I just made this recipe, its my first time EVER making these and it came out exactly like she said it would, and they were beyond delicious, I've ate them at restaurants before and this was by far the most delicious thing I've had, please try it. I was scared mine wouldn't turn out like hers but it looked the exact same way just follow her steps just like she said to do it I made mines with butter and oil, I'm gonna try it with coconut oil next time

[lou-annremy-gibbs]

I have to admit, I didn’t realize how much Trinidad culture has impacted me. I lived in Trinidad for many years and underestimated how much this food means to me. Now living here in the USA, I crave the food. I never tried making this before as it was always readily available. Now after watching like 25 times and making it now over 40 time I’m a pro.. thank you so much Ria. When I go to Trinidad and they ask me, “ hey you want roti ?”, I decline and simply say, I learned from Ria! Oh and I followed your recipe for parasad as well as Calloou with spinach. Thank you!!

Finally, I can make good parathas at home, all thanks to you. Since I live alone, I made 6 of these and put them in the freezer. The next day, I took one out and re-heated on a tawa. It still tasted really good. That means I am not buying store bought parathas ever again. Thank you.

Why would anyone hit dislike on this? I swear some people just go around clicking dislike for no reason

I’m Jamaican and my brother’s wife is Trini. Her mom would come over and make fry bake and she would often make channa, callaloo and a bunch of other treats. Anyway, I got to really really like buss up shut but I never got it anywhere quite like the authentic thing. I’ve tried about 3 other recipes and everytime I make this one, it’s a hit! Thank you so much! I use the recipe from your blog because I’m better at following written instructions and I love how detailed you are. Great job!

[comeback]

Update! I was intimidated to try this recipe however I did and boy oh boy. It did not disappoint. It came out delicious. I didn’t think I could. But thanks to your recipe I did. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe, skills and expertise! It’s greatly appreciated.

[akeyiahdelancy]

I love how you really take time to not only provide a great tasting recipe but educate us. After watching any of your videos I'm left speechless without any questions just confidence that I can try any recipe that you provide! Thanks for constantly educating us. 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

BEST Caribbean Cooking Channel on Youtube. You speak so clear and articulate. And you are always full of positive energy. Thumbs up!

[marencruickshank]

Bruh...that first one got some wicked slaps...buss up shot really does go through a lot for us.
great instructional.

[Damnnntee]

My husband is trini and grew up in NY so he's always had buss up. Made this and he said its the BEST hes ever had. Yeah- no one can tell me nothing now. Thank you x1000.

[rashidahnelson]

You made me feel like I could really do this and I did!!! You are one of the best instructors on YouTube!! Now all I need is a trini husband and I'm good 😋

[isabellabadowski]

I can’t tell you how happy I am to have found your channel. My grandmother is from Trinidad and doesn’t teach me how to cook traditional dishes from Trinidad. I’m glad YouTube can teach me

[sadohrs]

Hi! I have been making roti the wrong way for years! I thought the recipe that I have been using is the best! Boy, was I wrong! I just made this. I used butter in the dough and cooked them with canola oil. They're very authentic! I did not have the flat sticks that you used to scrunch the roti up. I improvised and use the tongs. They worked! My husband had four in one sitting! Thank you for posting the recipe!

[tomaitoe]

I've been making your Black Cake for years and get nothing but compliments. Thank you for having vegan options as well. I can't wait to make more of your recipes!

[leoniesewell]

I’ve never attempted to make Roti( even though I’m Guyanese) but tomorrow, I’m definitely going to give it a try. Your instructions were very clear. Wish me luck

[miram]

I must say, who ever gave this recipe a "thumbs down" is just jealous people.
This is a great video. I'm about to make some goat curry and need some good roti to go with it. I came across this recipe and I'm very excited to try it out. Thank you for posting. Best looking paratha roti recipe I found. :)

[kendo]

Just finished making this and came back to confirm that this recipe works! Best roti I've ever made.

[michaellawes]

I made this yesterday following the recipe and I used a mix of butter and crisco. This came out awesome! I will never have to buy this at the restaurant again! Thank you for your videos. They are so detailed and simple to follow.

[zeenat]
