Chapati (Phulka) Recipe



















Ingredient:

  • Whole wheat flour (or 1/3 white + 2/3 whole wheat)  -  1 c
  • Water - 1/2 c 

Method:
  1. Put flour in a large bowl with half the water.
  2. Blend the two together until it holds.
  3. Beat and knead well until it forms a compact ball.
  4. Knead dough until it is smooth and elastic.
  5. Set aside for 30 minutes.
  6. Knead and divide dough into 4 to 6 parts.
  7. Roll each ball into a tortilla like flat, about 1/8" thick.
  8. Heat an ungreased skillet.
  9. 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).
  10. Turn and cook the second side for 2/3 minutes until small bubbles form.
  11. Turn again and cook the first side pressed lightly with a towel. 
  12. 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.
