Chicken Baida Roti Recipe


Every year during Ramadan festival I would see people religiously flocking to this famous street vendor who sells super soft and spicy baida roti. This street vendor sets up his stall only during ramadan festival and does not have a name. His shop is close to the mosque located at Frazer town-Bangalore, its packed till 11 pm. 

I am sorry for giving such vague descriptions and directions. I was really fascinated with way they make this baida roti, specially the taste and texture and always wanted to recreate it. After few trails i got it to the consistency I like.



I was not very sure why they call this chicken or mutton filled parathas as baida roti until I came across a write up on Bademiya. This hole in the wall eatery located at mumbai, is said to have popularized Seekh kababs and Baida rotis. The famous kababs and rotis are now world famous but during Ramadan festival street vendors across India recreate and  prepare these rotis for customers. 

The famous baida roti was coined after Mohammed Yaseen aka Bademiya means respectfully addressing a elderly person, he originally created the stuffing using meats and cottage cheese. 

I have prepared and shared the recipe from scratch, However I would love to taste the Baida roti from Bademiya and recreate the same.
