bun parotta recipe | madurai bun paratha recipe | street food bun parata with step by step photo and video recipe. parotta or layered maida based paratha is one of the popular streets, particularly in south india. it is a popular choice for its flaky and layered texture, crisp taste and also for its spicy curry choice. one such popular tamilnadu style parotta recipe is madurai bun paratha recipe known for its taste, shape and size.

i am a big fan of parotta kurma combo meal, and it has been my favourite canteen meal during college days. it is simple, flaky and more importantly, the combination of coconut-based kurma curry and layered parata makes it a super special meal. having said that, i knew little about the variations in the parotta category. i only came to know about this street food bun parata which is unique in its shape. however, there isn’t any significant difference in the way it is prepared or layered to the popular malabar parotta. moreover, this is no egg or eggless parotta and hence can be easily served to vegetarians. basically, i have used baking soda which should provide the same softness and texture to the paratha.

furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variations to the bun parotta recipe. firstly, the authentic and traditional recipe is only made with maida or plain flour. plain flour helps to get that crispiness, flakiness and also distinct layers. having said that, you may also prepare this in wheat flour for a healthy alternative. secondly, you may feel the use of vegetable oil could be reduced to make it a healthy alternative. but trust me, to get the same street style texture and layers, you would need a generous amount of oil. lastly, with the same dough, you can also prepare the kerala parotta as an alternative. the only difference would be the size compared to this parata.
