Phulka (Roti)

SabKiList Kitchen

Soft, puffed whole wheat rotis, the everyday bread of an Indian kitchen.

Ingredients

Method

1. 1

   Mix the atta and a pinch of salt. Add water a little at a time and knead into a soft, smooth dough. Cover and rest for 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Divide the dough into 8 equal balls. Dip each in dry atta and roll into a thin 6-inch round, turning as you roll for an even circle.

3. 3

   Heat a tawa on medium-high. Cook the roti for about 20 seconds until small bubbles form, flip and cook for another 20-30 seconds.

4. 4

   Use tongs to place the roti directly on the flame; it will puff up within seconds. Flip once to cook both sides.

5. 5

   Smear with a little ghee if you like and keep the rotis wrapped in a clean cloth to stay soft.
