PHULKA

Phulka recipe is the most common Indian food which is loved by all the Indians. It is a phulka made with wheat flour and is in the form of a flatbread which is very soft and puffed up. It is basically an Indian flatbread which is cooked on the stove top and there is no application of oil to the phulkas. These phulkas are very healthy as well.You can serve this with any curries.

INGREDIENTS:

Whole wheat flour - 2 cup

Salt to taste

Butter - 1 tbsp

Water as required

METHOD:

1. In a large bowl combine the flour, butter, and salt; add a little water at a time to make a firm dough and knead for a few more minutes until smooth.

2. Set the dough aside to rest covered for 15 minutes. Knead once again and divide the dough into equal portions.

3. Start rolling out the dough until we get a round or circular disc-like shaped roti.

4. The shape of the phulka should not be too thick nor thin.

5. Heat the tawa/skillet.

6. Take the roti in your hands and place it on the tawa.

7. Cook the bottom side for few seconds on medium flame.

8. When slight air bubbles appear at the top flip the roti and cook the other side very well.

9. Lift the phulka roti with the help of a pair of tongs, and place the roti directly on the flame.

10. The side which was cooked for few seconds should be facing the flame.

11. Once the roti is placed on the flame, it begins to puff up. This is known as Phulka.

12. Immediately take the roti on a plate.
