Guyanese Oil Roti || The Real Deal || Paratha Roti or Clap Roti - Episode 1

Oil roti, otherwise known as Clap roti or Paratha roti is a flatbread which is eaten with any vegetable or curry dish that is made in Guyanese households. This flatbread is soft and fluffy and is something different than rice. This is my grandmother's recipe for some of the softest oil roti you have ever eaten. Many people have their own methods of making oil roti, but this is the way I have learned from my grandmother, as she did with her parents, and so forth.

Ingredients:
4 cups of all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
1 1/2- 2 cups of water for mixing the dough

Extra oil and flour to roll and cook the roti (about 1 cup of each)

I was just looking for an explanation of how the clapping was done to fluffy up some store-bought frozen roti, and now I am wanting to do the whole thing from scratch. Great job, man!

Love and admiration from India. Looks so soft and tasty. I shall clap and thump the parathas henceforth. We make them circular like you, sometimes square or slightly rectangular, sometimes triangular. Parathas go so well with dal and curry. Simple but full of nutrients and
delicious. Your kitchen is really smart. 👍
