Roti | Phulka | Chapati Recipe
Roti, Chapati, or Phulka is a round flatbread native to the Indian subcontinent. It is made from ground wheat flour (known as gehu ka atta).
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 Cup Luke Warm Water
Instructions
- Take whole wheat flour in a bowl. Add a bit of water & start mixing.
- Add water in small parts while kneading the dough.
- The dough should be kneaded until it becomes soft, smooth & pliable. Keep adding the water in small parts until the dough becomes soft & smooth. Keep it for rest for 30 minutes & cover it with a wet cloth.
- Now make small balls of dough.
- With the help of a rolling board & rolling pin, roll the dough ball into a flat circle. Keep dusting the rolling board & dough ball with whole wheat flour, so it will not become very sticky. Otherwise, the rolled flat dough will crack.
- Heat the Tawa (Round Iron Griddle) well in medium flame. Tawa should be hot enough to put the flat round dough circle.
- First, cook one side. Cook one-fourth & then turn the other side. After a few seconds, you find the air pocket-forming.
- Slowly press the flat side of the bread, so the entire roti gets puffed well. Remove it, add some ghee or butter (Optional) and serve it with the main course.
