1 Cup =250 ML Cup Measurement
Makes 8 Phulkas
Ingredients
2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
½ Teaspoon Salt - optional
1 Cup Minus 1 - 2 Tablespoons Water
Desi Ghee - for brushing - optional
Method
Let's make the dough
In a large bowl combine the flour and salt, add a little water at a time to make firm soft dough and knead for a few more minutes until smooth. The water quantity depends on flour quality, some flours take more some less.
Set the dough aside to rest covered for minimum 30 minutes.
Knead once again and divide the dough into 6 - 8 balls.
Preheat the tawa/griddle on medium low heat.
Place rolled dough on the hot tawa/griddle. In a few seconds you will notice that small air pockets, bubbles start to form on the surface.
At this point immediately flip the rolled dough to the other side and increase the flame to high.
When bottom side has got brown spots and it start to puff, lift the tawa off the flame and place the phulka(using tongs) directly on the flame.

Preheat the tawa/griddle on medium low heat.
Generously dust the work surface with flour and roll each ball of dough into smooth round ball. With the palm of your hand flatten the ball.
With a rolling pin roll this thin round circle. As you roll them out, you can keep dusting the work surface with flour, this will prevent it from sticking to the work surface.
Baking it as indicated in the steps below.
Baking it as indicated in the steps below.
It will balloon into a spherical shape and puff up immediately.
Therefore this is called a Phulka. This is flame side, so do not over cook or else it will burn, when is puff remove it from the flame.
To store the phulka, place a ring ( this a cooker ring) on the tin.
Then place a kitchen towel/tissue on it
My favorite way to enjoy a just made phulka for breakfast is to brush it with desi ghee or butter and a teaspoon of jam slathered on it.. love love it. Also enjoy this with my favorite fruit, banana or mango like a roll, this I have for lunch or dinner, when I want a change from the regular meal.
My Notes
Making the rolled out phulka dough puff into a balloon comes with practice. So give yourself time if you are new to flatbread making.
Even if your phulka does not puff the first time or the times after, the phulkas that you have made are cooked and edible, so you could enjoy them with your choice of vegetable, curry or any side dish.
