Lachha Paratha Burgers

Our South Asian crispy and flaky lachha paratha got a lot of hype these days. Crispy, flaky paratha buns burgers are a lovely idea to try at home. I tried it and my family loved the combination.

I use 8-oz. ,236 ml cup

Lachha Paratha Burger

Dough:
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¼ whole wheat flour
1 tsp sugar
¾ tsp salt
2 tbsp yogurt
1 tbsp oil
½ cup +2 tbsp lukewarm water
Melted butter or ghee for brushing the layers

Burger Sauce:
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp relish
1 tbsp mustard
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp finely chopped onions

Caramelized Onions:
2 medium-sized onions- thinly sliced
2 tbsp butter
A heavy pinch of salt
2-3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Ground beef 90/10- 1 kg
Lettuce
Caramelized onions
Sliced cheese

Process:

Combine the dough ingredients and knead them for about 8 minutes till the gluten structure is stable. Cover it for twenty minutes.
Then divide it into eight equal portions. Roll into tight smooth balls. Let the dough balls rest for another twenty minutes.
Grease your work surface and start spreading the dough ball into a paper-thin sheet. Brush the top with ghee or melted butter. Cut it into strips. Collect the strips and reroll it again into a round ball. Make sure to tuck in the ends. Cover with plastic wrap and let the layered dough ball rest again for another twenty minutes.
After another brief rest period, take one dough ball and flatten it gently with your finger. Try not to disturb the layers and try not to push the layers around too much. Spread to your desired size about the size of your cooked burger patties.
You can shallow fry or deep fry the lachha paratha buns. I like them both ways. Cook them on medium heat on both sides till a nice golden color appears. Drain them and set them aside.

Prepare your caramelized onions using a slow medium heat

Divide the ground beef into 150-170 g portions and roll into balls. Sprinkle the meatball with salt and pepper and flatten it between two parchment pieces. Cook the patties on a hot smoking griddle for 1 ½- 2 minutes on each side. Throw a cheese slice onto it to melt and remove the patty from the heat.

Assemble your burger and serve it with a side of fries.

Feast Well!❤️
