# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Combine flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl. Add milk and warm water gradually to form a soft dough. Knead until smooth and let it rest covered for 55 minutes. Divide dough into portions and roll into thin circles. Cook on a hot oiled skillet until golden on both sides.
02 - Heat butter and oil in a pan over medium heat. Add sliced onions, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly until onions are golden brown and caramelized, approximately 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
03 - In a bowl, combine ground beef with salt, crushed garlic, crushed red pepper, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Form into small balls to be smashed on the skillet. Prepare slices of cheddar cheese for topping.
04 - Heat a skillet until very hot. Place beef balls and smash them thinly using a spatula. Cook until edges are crispy and the bottom is browned, about 2-3 minutes. Flip, add cheddar cheese on top, and cook until cheese melts.
05 - In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, crushed garlic, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and chopped pickles until smooth and well combined.
06 - Spread sauce on paratha buns, add caramelized onions, place the smashed patties with melted cheddar cheese, and top with the other bun half. Serve immediately.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For best flavor, allow the dough to rest for at least 55 minutes before cooking the paratha buns.
