Phulka



Phulka is simple yet sometimes most painful when it doesn't real puff up. Here's simple recipe that always works:

Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat/atta
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp oil
1 cup warm water


Method:

- In a bowl, mix flour, salt and oil and mix them.
- Add water slowly and keep mixing. Be careful not to add all the water at once
- When its a bit hard, wet your hand and mix the dough one more time
- Knead the dough for 5 more min with occasional punching.
- Set aside for at least 2 hours covered with wet cloth

Its a good way to reduce stress :-)

- Take a lemon size ball and dry flour.
- Make a round shaped bread
- Heat a pan
- Put the bread on it till pinkish spots appear on the side facing fan
- Take the bread off the pan and on to flame/coil on the other side
- Let it puff up and add little ghee on top.
