    \n
  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar.<\/li>\n
  2. Carefully pour in the boiling water, stirring quickly with a spoon.<\/li>\n
  3. Once cool enough to handle, knead by hand for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.<\/li>\n
  4. Roll dough into a 40cm log, divide into 8 equal portions.<\/li>\n
  5. Roll each portion into a ball, then into a small log.<\/li>\n
  6. Flatten slightly on a surface and cut into thin strips. Scrunch strips together.<\/li>\n
  7. Melt butter and mix in the oil. Dip each dough pieces into the butter + oil mixture.<\/li>\n
  8. Cover and rest for 5 minutes.<\/li>\n
  9. Roll each rested ball tightly into a circle.<\/li>\n
  10. Cover again and rest 10 minutes.<\/li>\n
  11. Lightly flour your work surface.<\/li>\n
  12. Roll each dough circle into a flat paratha bun.<\/li>\n
  13. Fry on medium heat in shallow oil for 2 minutes per side or until golden and puffed.<\/li>\n
  14. In the same pan, add a little oil.<\/li>\n
  15. Fry sliced onions until golden and caramelized. Remove and set aside.<\/li>\n
  16. Halve the burger patties, then place each half between two sheets of parchment paper.<\/li>\n
  17. Smash flat with a spatula or rolling pin.<\/li>\n
  18. Heat oil in a wide pan, fry burgers until cooked.<\/li>\n
  19. Add a slice of cheese on top of each patty, cover pan, and let it melt.<\/li>\n
  20. Take one paratha bun, spread sriracha mayo (or your choice of sauce).<\/li>\n

  22. Add a generous spoonful of fried onions.<\/li>\n
