PARATHA | Buss-up Shut Roti Recipe
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 07. 2024
- Happy Indian Arrival Day! On this monumental day, I have decided to honor the memory of my ancestors and share part of my family's legacy with you.
Buss-up Shut is a type of paratha roti that was brought to the islands by the Indian indentured laborers. It is an absolutely delicious, soft, silky and flaky roti that has become a staple in many Trinbagonian households. It can be eaten with tarkaris (veggies), curries or stews. Its name comes from the fact that it resembles a torn shirt.
Paratha comes from "parat" and "atta" which means "layers of cooked dough."
(Verma, Neera. Mughlai Cook Book. Diamond Pocket Books (P) Ltd. ISBN 9788171825479 - via Google Books)
This is similar to Malabar Parotta, Petai Paratha (Smashed Paratha) and Lachha Paratha.
Today, I'm happy to share my buss-up shut recipe with you as well as some videos of my Nana, his brothers and friends making roti. The quality is poor because it was on a VHS cassette.
Intro: 0:00-2:40
Kneading the dough: 2:41-4:58
Forming the loyas: 4:59-5:30
Creating the layers: 5:31-9:56
Rolling out the dough: 9:57-11:38
Cooking the roti: 11:39-18:40
Reheating roti: 18:41-19:50
Outro: 19:51-22:12
Buss-up Shut (Paratha) Roti
-3 cups of all-purpose flour + more for rolling out
-1 teaspoon of salt
- 3/4-1 teaspoon of baking powder (if you intend to make roti for freezing or storing in the fridge, add 3 teaspoons)
1 ¼ 1 ½ cups of hot water
-¼ cup of ghee + ¼ cup of lard
-¼ cup or more of an oil-ghee mixture
This recipe will yield 4 average sized - 10 inch roti or 7-10 thinner roti.
🔥Reheat by 1️⃣ wrapping the roti in foil and placing it into a 350 F oven/toaster for 10-12 minutes.
2️⃣ Wrap in damp paper towel and warm in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Pause the microwave at 10 second intervals.
3️⃣ Brush more ghee or oil on the tawa/pan and reheat roti. This will make the roti crispy and nice! My mom says "cripsy" 😁

What a special video. Makes me choke up because I am remembering all of the amazing family cooks who are no longer with me anymore. Videos like these will preserve our culture and our delicious food always. And not to mention I think your nana woulda thought your roti lashed. Keep em comin Reshmi.
Thank you for the kind words Matthew! Wish I could've cooked for him.
Keep up your amazing work!
It's dishes like roti ,doubles and pelau that does make me love TnT more.
They are all so yummy!
I’m so emotional watching this, just seeing your elders and now you repeating the tradition is choking me up…..
You're keeping it alive Reshma , and that's a gift that has been passed on to you, thanks for sharing and keeping the love and tradition alive God bless those hands 🕊
Thank you for the kind words! I am trying my best.
What a beautiful heritage - thank you for sharing this with the world. I’m not trini but fully love and appreciate Trini made buss up shut!!!! So delicious 🙌🏽 🇹🇹 ❤️🙌🏽
My fav cooking video thus far!! Great tutorial & such precious footage of your elders...thank you for sharing 😊
Beautiful video..such great memories..teared up a bit👍👍👍
Such a well thought out tribute to our history and culture. I didn't want to blink because I didn't want to miss one second of it. Love it Reshmi!
This has to be the best video on paratha Reshmi. I moved from Trinidad at 17 years old but I vividly remember these family occasions. Thank you for sharing this part of your family with us. Job well done!!!
Side note- I love the fact that you kept that strong Trini accent. Don't ever lose it.
I know this roti as paratha. Indian food is the best in the world! Everybody loves it. My Nani taught my mom to cook South Indian food. I’m from Jamaica 🇯🇲 we have a lot of Indians in Jamaica, Indian arrivals day in Jamaica is May 10 and 176 years. I am living in the states NY. Btw I love watching your cooking, my bestie from Trinidad.
I am jumping up and down tonight. I have been trying almost every single recipe on CZcams and could not make this roti to save my life! Tonight hubby said it was amazing! Cannot wait to try it again! It has been years trying by the way 🤦♀️
Hey, that's awesome! Glad you found success with the recipe 🙂 Thanks for trying it!
🙏 that is a video to treasure 😊 thank you for sharing😊😊😊
Great video. Love the nostalgia and the narration. This demonstration video is definitely one of, if not the best for paratha. Thank you so much for sharing your family’s memories and the country’s cultural traditions. I’m trying this, this week!
Thank you for the kind words! Happy you enjoyed the video- especially the cultural aspect of it. Happy roti-making!
Thank you for sharing. Very informative video Reshmi. I am a roti lover like most. 👍🏽😋😋😋 I love to eat bus-up-shut roti with channa and aloo, with stew chicken.
Hi I was busy while my t.v. was playing random cooking video's when your video started playing I stopped what I was doing sat down & watched your Amazing Informative yet delicious Video of your food I can't wait to see more I love Indian & Caribbean food.🙌❤🍛🔥
Thank you for keeping our ancestor traditions alive . Crying watching the video Dec 12 1996 my dad pass away 19 Dec 1996 my late dad he uesd to cook roti for wedding , prays also for the temple .
I feel the same way. You’re not alone.
@@impeds thank you.
Looks delicious, you have lovely memories of your nana.
Oh snap you already did it! I've been taught but always forget. I'll watch this now everytime I need a hand. Your a blessing from God and Goddess.
Hi Reshmi Happy Indian arrival to you and your family love the video girl ,my grandma now deceased used to cook for Indian weddings as a young child growing up I used to be with her ,so that's hot I learned , also from my mom God bless.
Had to say a special thanks for this recipe! It was a winner! I normally make my paratha with lukewarm water, but man does this make a huge difference. The roti was literally pillow soft! The warm water really makes a difference. Thanks again
*Buss up Shut, is one of the best gift brought to Trinidad.*
This is beautifully presented. Superb job !
Happy Indian Arrival Day, love this video, thanks for all you do to keep memories, customs and heritage alive.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Doing my best to preserve my traditions and heritage.
Well represented, and well said.. thank you for keeping our peoples' history culture and food alive❤

Masterpiece. Love the vintage videos. Thanks so much.
Thank you for these priceless videos🙏🏽
You are the best at explaining things and I appreciate the history lessons
Love the vintage clips
This looks amazing Reshmi! I want to try this. I love how you added videos of your family in it...it’s a great way to remember family and carry on the family tradition in the love of food. I live in New York too! Yay! 🥰
Love the tips and authentic traditional techniques. Thank you. On a side note: “Uncle Pitchoil” 🤣 always love to hear the funny origin stories of our old time nicknames for people.
Glad you enjoyed!! Hahaha omg....the names really make it even better. I'm sure there is a funny reasoning behind that name.
Very Beautiful, and sentimental video. Even though he is no longer with us, his memories live on. Looking forward for you to see your Uncle again.
Beautiful story of your Ancestors love it thank you for sharing 🙏 God bless you
Reshmi... I cannot express how happy this video made me I am greatly blessed to have shared this heritage. Great video as always thank you for sharing the old videos it made me smile
You made me happy to see the old way and your way of doing this dish. Thanks for sharing it was so interesting 🤔. Love Roti and I’m not even Indian .
So glad you enjoyed the video Naomi! 🙂
I love when my hubby makes this it's one of my favorites 💕🇨🇦
I enjoyed looking at the pics of your nana making roti. It reminded me of my wedding in 1998. The scene was so similar. Thanks for sharing😊
Happy you enjoyed, Denise! Glad to bring back memories. This was actually for my aunty's wedding :)
Love this! What a great tribute to your Nana, them longtime cooks had real sweet hand. Your paratha looks flaky,silky and soft.
I enjoyed this vlog. Keep up the great work Reshmi ♡
It looks so easy
I would definitely try it
Nice video, very appropriate for today's festival.
Love your story and introduction. Great video. Thank you.
I actually watched the entire video because of the awesome narrative.
I will learn how to make this some day, it's on my bucket list.
Happy Indian arrival day to u an ur family, dat is the softest buss up shut, I luv it , luv the history u give too, I luv it with duck or prayers food
Thank you! Same here- duck & prayers food (especially chataigne).
Taste of Trini totally agree
Reshmi, I can't believe i am now watching this video you made three (3) years ago. Not only was the tutorial a great one, but the history you shared was necessary and amazing. Continue to share the culture. Many thanks.
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful video & your wonderful memories with us Resh 🤗 Your Nana must be watching proudly over you as you continue his legacy ♥️
My son learnt some history today - he didn’t even speak once during the entire video! You’d make a good teacher 😊. He also wants to help me make some buss up shut later so I’ll see how that goes! I remember back in Trinidad we would have it for prayers served with chataigne, karhi, pumpkin, bhagi, etc. but I mostly preferred just channa & aloo and mango (& curry shrimp when I’m not fasting 😋). It’s quite a rich and heavy food and I remember usually feeling a little sleepy after, but totally satisfied ☺️.
We are very lucky & honoured to belong to this unique heritage. May we never forget our roots and all the hard work and sacrifices our ancestors made to pave the way for us..
Happy Indian Arrival Day 💕 xxxxxxx
You're welcome! Thanks for the kind words.
That's amazing! Happy that your son is interested in making roti. I love it with all those dishes you mentioned.
It's funny you said that- when I asked my husband what roti means to him, he said "sleep aid" lol
So true. I'm doing my best to preserve and continue the traditions in hope that the younger generation will do the same.
Take care and thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed watching this video.. you took time and made this video and it was made beautifully..
So happy you enjoyed the video, Riya! Thank you for the kind words 💕
Very nice video, you made look so simple...thank you...❤
This is the BEST and educational video on how to make this roti. I am so happy I found this, so easy to follow and comprehend. I appreciate the time that went into making this so easy for us to follow. Great job and thank you.
One strong lash! Love it. Love your videos!
Oh wow! Makes me so hungry 😋💕 yummy!
Beautiful done! and I love all your bracelets!
Happy Indian arrival day to everyone and your family
I love watching your vlogs
Same to you.
I made this recipe today. It was my first time making roti, and it was a big success!!! Even my picky daughter liked it. Thanks so much for sharing. It came out flaky and nice, and paired nicely with the chana and aloo I made.
Awww! Thanks for using the recipe! So happy it was a success in your home 🙏🏼🙂
I absolutely LOVED this video!! I’m from the better half of T&T but lived in Trinidad also where I first tasted this heavenly dish. I love our 🇹🇹 food culture. I will definitely be trying this once I could get my hands on a tawah. Thanks to you and your nana for this.
Great video especially the history
Loved the history info
this video was done really well. I love learning about culture with foods. I'm making buss shot right now 😋. (made it many times)
Definitely gonna try this sometime with some curry "strims" haha can't wait! Thanks, again! ❣👍🏼😍
Awwww love this video so much. It bring back memories of my Nana as well. He used to make roti, doubles, urdi bara, pulourie, sahinas etc etc. I wish we had a camera in those days to flim him. Thankyou for sharing.❤
I totally enjoy this video, love the history you share, and the many amazing cooks in your family, saw where you got your skills, TFS . Working on on paratha roti skills, will be dropping mines very soon.
Your Nana would be so proud of you 🙂
I watched totally fascinated as your mum made a batch of buss-up shut roti. It's just as therapeutic to watch too, I just love that dabbler action! The enamel cup technique is really good. A fantastic meal to celebrate Indian Arrival Day with. Great memories, great skills! 🇮🇳🇹🇹😋👍🌟
Hey Reshmi, just love watching your videos. I just saw how you made buss up shut. Happy Indian arrival day.
Best
Nalinee Edwards.
Thank you Nalinee! I appreciate it.
Wow, my father used to make those ginormous rotis like your Nana, he doesn't anymore, he says he isn't able to do it, coincidentally my mother and I cooked parathas yesterday and today not as huge as your Nanas but they were big. Your paratha looks soft and flaky
Love this.
Great traditional Trinidad memories.
Hello 3 cups flour to 1tsp baking powder can please explain it to me thank you
I was transported back home. I like Roti, with curry mango, chic peas, and potato and curry prawns. YUM
This was a memorable experience Reshmi. Thank you for the old footage and your unique commentary. Delicious!
My late auntie made them just so. 😃
Thank you for watching, Priscilla! So happy you enjoyed and it brought back memories of your late aunty.
Awesome video, you covered everything in this lovely video. Thank you for sharing your family's rich history with us. I will definitely be trying this one. Happy Indian Arrival Day and have a happy and productive week. 😊🥂
Thank you for watching, Jude! Wishing you a great week also 🙂
One thing I love about the Indian Culture is that u got to learn to cook...love it
Roti looks scrumptious 😋I love the video from 24 years ago of your family making roti ✨✨what wonderful memories
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed the video :) Timeless memories.
I found the old videos so satisfying to watch ❤️
You did an amazing job with this video.
Wooooow beautifully said n done thank you 😁 🙏🏻
I’ve honestly never seen a better roti! 😯😯

Making this today, thank you so much for all your awesome videos.
Great video! I'll eat buss up shot with anything curry but my fave will have to be curriied- goat, duck or seasoned chicken. I 💖 it...
Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. Tried it today and it came out so soft and good
Lovely. I remember growing up, buss up shut making for large gatherings was one of the most fascinating things to see, our dear older generation prepare.
Those were some good days! It was definitely fascinating 🙂
Wow. Just wow
I truly enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Happy you enjoyed! Thank you for watching ❤
Thanks for the detailed video....all of my friends and most of my family can make roti except me ,but watching your videos have encouraged me to try!let's see how that goes. I tried your curried stew pork by the way it was amazing.
Hi Sharon! You'll do great! Glad the curry stewed pork turned out amazing 🙂
Reshmi at 12:36 minutes in, it looked like I was looking at heaven. I'm watching this kinda forlornly because I'm starting my Keto Diet on Tuesday so I won't be having this for a while lol! I appreciate the history and honor of your forefathers and fore-mothers as well. It's trying times out here so it is great to be able to watch something as warming (and hunger inducing!) as this video tonight.
Oh gosh!! I asked Kevin what roti means to him and he said "sleep aid" lol He keeps talking about going back on keto.
So happy you enjoyed the video. Hope you are staying safe!
Happy Keto eating!
Yumm had these at a west Indian restaurant they were so good! Will try to make for sure!
Thank u taste of trini for that piece of history and teaching us all those little techniques. I'm from Point Fortin.🙏🙏
My daughter's favorite roti I would usually buy it because I wasn't able to make it until today thanks to you. I won't be buy roti anymore. Thanks
Hi Reshmi that’s what we the children and grandchildren have to do keep their legacy alive I also does the same thing because my nana came as a little toddler to this country happy arrival day to you and your family.
This was one of your best videos to date. A bit more than a recipe with a personal story but also a very good sequence and well described options for making the roti.
All I can think about now is divali after seeing that video. Lol 🤤🤤🤤. I cook everything. EVERYTHING on that day. That’s my version of Christmas. So I can honestly say I enjoy eating that Roti with all of that food! 🥰🇹🇹
delicious, you are so detailed anybody could do it.
Happy Indian Arrival Day Reshmi.
Thank you for sharing! Cooking with family members builds strong family life .....
You're welcome! I agree🙏🏽
