Absolutely! Madurai’s Bun Parotta is legendary—fluffy, crisp-edged, and decadently layered. Here's how you can recreate that street-style magic right at home:
🍞 Madurai-Style Bun Parotta Recipe
(Crispy outside, soft & fluffy inside)
🧂 Ingredients:
-
All-purpose flour (Maida) – 2 cups
-
Sugar – 1 tsp
-
Salt – 1 tsp
-
Baking soda – 1/4 tsp
-
Curd (yogurt) – 2 tbsp
-
Water – as needed
-
Oil – for kneading and cooking (generous amounts!)
-
Egg – 1 (optional, for extra softness)
👩🍳 Method:
1. Prepare the Dough
-
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and curd.
-
Add egg (if using) and start mixing.
-
Gradually add water and knead into a very soft, slightly sticky dough.
-
Apply 2 tbsp of oil and knead for at least 10–15 minutes until smooth and elastic.
-
Rest the dough for 2–3 hours, covered with a damp cloth.
2. Portion and Rest Again
-
Divide the dough into medium-sized balls (like a lemon).
-
Grease your hands and coat each ball with oil.
-
Let them rest for another 30–60 minutes—this helps with layering.
3. Stretch and Fold
-
On a greased surface, take one dough ball and spread it paper-thin (like you’re stretching a pizza base).
-
Fold it like a paper fan or pleated ribbon, then roll it into a spiral bun shape (like a cinnamon roll).
-
Slightly flatten it with your palm. Do this for all dough balls.
4. Cook the Parottas
-
Heat a tawa or flat griddle on medium flame.
-
Place the parotta and cook both sides with generous oil or ghee, pressing gently for fluffiness.
-
Fry until both sides are golden brown and crisp.
5. Fluff It Up (Madurai Style)
-
Once all parottas are done, stack 2-3 and clap them together (lightly) to separate the layers and add fluffiness.
🍛 Serve With:
-
Spicy salna (street-style gravy)
-
Onion raita or thick veg kurma
-
Even pairs amazingly with chicken curry or mutton chukka
