Dubai viral paratha bun smash 👩‍🍳🍔🔥

Ingredients

• 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (for the dough, sifted)
• 1 tsp Salt (for the dough)
• 4 tbsp Vegetable Oil (2 tbsp for dough, extra for cooking and layering)
• 3/4 cup Water (lukewarm, for dough)
• 190 g Beef Mince (80% lean, divided into two 95 g patties)
• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground, for patty seasoning)
• 2 slices Cheese Slices (American or processed cheese, melts well)
• 1 medium Purple Onion (thinly sliced and caramelized)
• 2 tbsp Mayonnaise (part of quick sauce)
• 1 tbsp Ketchup (part of quick sauce)
• 1 tsp Mustard (part of quick sauce)

Instructions

1. Make the Paratha Dough

   In a mixing bowl combine 2 cups all‑purpose flour, 1 tsp salt and 2 tbsp vegetable oil. Gradually add lukewarm water while kneading until a smooth, soft dough forms.

   Time: PT10M

2. Rest the Dough

   Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature.

   Time: PT30M

3. Prepare the Quick Sauce

   Mix 2 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp ketchup and 1 tsp mustard in a small bowl. Set aside.

   Time: PT5M

4. Caramelize the Onion

   Heat 1 tbsp oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced purple onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden and sweet, about 10 minutes.

   Time: PT10M

5. Roll and Layer the Paratha

   Divide the rested dough into 4 equal balls. On a lightly oiled surface, roll each ball into a very thin circle (about 15‑20 cm diameter). Brush the surface with a little oil, fold from one corner to the opposite corner twice to create a layered “pear” shape, then gently open the folds so the layers are visible.

   Time: PT15M

6. Sear Both Sides of the Paratha

   Place a rolled paratha in the hot skillet over high flame. Cook each side until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

   Time: PT4M

   Temperature: high flame

7. Finish Cooking on Low Flame

   After both sides are browned, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid and let the paratha cook gently for 40 minutes. This steams the layers and makes them soft inside while staying crisp outside.

   Time: PT40M

   Temperature: low flame

8. Season and Form the Beef Patties

   Divide the 190 g beef mince into two equal portions (95 g each). Lightly pat each portion into a thin round patty, sprinkle with ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp black pepper.

   Time: PT5M

9. Smash and Cook the Beef Patties

   Heat a clean skillet over high flame with a drizzle of oil. Place a patty in the pan, press down firmly with a spatula, and cook for 3‑4 minutes until a crust forms. Flip once and cook another 2 minutes. Repeat with the second patty.

   Time: PT4M

   Temperature: high flame

10. Assemble the Paratha Burger

    Place a cooked paratha on a plate, spread a generous spoonful of the sauce, add the cheese slice, the smash beef patty, and top with caramelized onion. Fold the paratha gently and serve hot.

    Time: PT5M
