CHAPATI (PHULKA)


Ingredients 
(for 4, serving 1 or 2)
Ingredients:
1 cup Whole wheat flour (or 1/3 white + 2/3 whole wheat)
1/2 cup Water
Method
Put flour in a large bowl with half the water. Blend the two together until it holds. Beat
and knead well until it forms a compact ball. Knead dough until it is smooth and elastic.
Set aside for 30 minutes.
Knead and divide dough into 4 to 6 parts. Roll each ball into a tortilla like flat, about
"1/8" thick. Heat an ungreesed skillet.
Put phulka on it, and let it cook for about 1 minute (The top should just start to look dry
and small bubbles should just start to form).
Turn and cook the second side for 2/3 minutes until small bubbles form.
Turn again and cook the first side pressed lightly with a towel. It should puff. Serve
warm (maybe slightly buttered).
Note:
Since the rolled out chappati's will dry out if they are left to stand while cooking the
others, it is advantageous to roll them out individually before cooking them.
