Easy Buss Up Shut Roti Recipe by Chef Shaun 🇹🇹 Foodie Nation

Trinbagonian buss up shut roti is a beloved dish in Trinidad and Tobago, characterized by its torn and flaky appearance resembling a "busted-up shirt." The roti starts with a soft, thin, and layered flatbread cooked on a tawa. It's commonly enjoyed with savory dishes like curried meats & vegetables, as well as stews. Overall, it's a flavorful and satisfying dish that reflects the island's culinary creativity and cultural heritage.
‼️DISCLAIMER- Our goal is to create an easier version for people new to roti making, helping them feel confident in attempting and executing it.
We understand that this is not the traditional way of making Buss Up Shut, but our intention is not to mislead anyone.
People seeking a more traditional recipe can find that version on Foodie Nation as well.
This tutorial is geared towards those new to cooking.‼️
Yield - 6 Servings
Ingredients
All Purpose Flour - 4 cups
Salt - ¼ tsp
Baking Powder - 4 tsp
Brown Sugar - 1 tbsp
Water - 11 fl. oz.
Ghee - 1 cup (room temp.)
Method
* In a bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder & sugar.
* Make a well and add water.
* Knead into a soft dough (dough might seem a bit sticky but that’s ok.)
* Knead for about 5 minutes.
* Using your hands, coat your dough in ghee, cover with a damp cloth & let rest for 20 minutes.
* Remove cloth and divide dough into 6 balls.
* Rub each ball with ghee, cover and let rest for 5 minutes.
* Place one ball on a floured surface, sprinkle top with flour and roll into an 8-inch-wide disc using your rolling pin.
* Rub ghee onto the dough, ensuring to completely cover the top with ghee.
* Take a knife and cut the dough from the centre to the end.
* Roll clockwise into a cone.
* Tuck the end into the bottom of the cone.
* Place it on the counter and, using one of your fingers, push the middle of the ball all the way down to the bottom of the cone.
* Do this with the other balls.
* Coat balls with ghee, cover with a warm damp cloth and let rest for 20 minutes.
* Place one ball onto a floured surface.
* Sprinkle top with flour.
* Press into a small flat disc.
* Roll out into an 8-inch-wide disc.
* Heat tawa over low to medium heat.
* Once heated, lightly brush with ghee.
* Place dough onto your tawa.
* Brush ghee all over the dough, ensuring to brush the edges to prevent it from drying out.
* Using your dabla, immediately flip and brush ghee onto any dry spots the other side might have.
* Allow to cook for 20 seconds before flipping again.
* Flip your roti for the last time.
* Using your dablas, gently beat your roti.
* Immediately place in a sealed, insulated container lined with cloth (this will prevent it from sweating).
* Enjoy!

Shaun, with all due respect to you and the many great trinbago recipes and trini cooks that you have featured on this channel, you are missing the point from most of us. The end product of what you made, regardless of your intent to help newcomers attempt to make buss up shut....is not paratha roti and it IS misleading to non-trinis. Please don't block me or report me, it's called constructive criticism.

[@jameelakiritharan6708]

Young man, I am not sure what to say but boy, what a bastardisation of paratha roti this is!. I am sick and tired of people making things ' easy to make'. People want to claim they can do this, that and the other to make themselves look and sound good. Now, do not make things easy for people by making yourself look stupid and I am sure you are anything BUT! The art and gift of being a blooming good cook in any society is good, proper, down-to-earth, nitty gritty teaching, a lot of questions and mistakes, rivers of patience, perseverance and eventual success. If people do not want to become good with time and all of the above thrown in, then something is wrong with their notion of wanting to learn to cook. Please, do not be the one to teach them these shortcuts which, by the way, does not look anything like the real thing. Thank You.

Clearly Tranni commenters aren’t open-minded people. This would have been better received by a modern and/or non-native audience…but I appreciate your ingenuity. It’s similar in practice to the preparation of Thai-Style Roti with Garlic and Cilantro butter

[@saryarohit2925]

No,no,no! This is terrible. Look at how that paratha came out! At the end of this video, you should have admitted defeat and then stated that in a follow up video you're bringing in a professional. This would be a good segue and method to account for your monstrosity and show that everyone needs help sometimes and that one can always be a student of life. Fix it, Shaun! Don't leave this hanging around on Obama's Internet! It's embarrassing for your brand!
