Phulka

This is a basic recipe in our everyday lives.It is a simpler version of Chapathi without oil.We can make wraps for kids out of this with butter and veggies/Non-veg sprinkled with cheese.I am sure kids will love this.My daughter does  :)  So,hope you will enjoy making this.






 Ingredients:

Wheat Flour -    1 cup

salt               -   1/2 tsp

oil                 -   few drops

Water           -    As Needed


Method:

Take flour in a wide bowl and add salt and mix well.Now take water and keep adding it to the flour mixture and knead the dough with your hands till it forms into a soft dough.Add few drops of oil and mix it well into the dough.keep the dough aside and let it rest for 10 mins.
               Now make small lemon sized balls with the dough .Roll the balls  out thin to approximately 5 inches in diameter. while rolling out , tossing the dough in dry flour  will prevent it from getting sticky.

                    Heat a griddle on the stove and as it gets hot place the phulka on it and cook for few mins on either sides .
When it starts to bubble out  transfer the phulka onto direct  medium flame so that it puffs up into a balloon.



Remove from flame .and serve hot with any curry of your choice.

 Kids Version:

For kids version ,instead of taking it onto direct flame , fry the phulka one side on griddle, flip it over,reduce the flame and apply lil butter and spread cooked shredded chicken or cooked veggies and sprinkle some mixed shredded cheese or mozzarella cheese and let it cook and roll into a wrap.We should take care that the phulka doesn't become hard.These wraps can be enjoyed by kids and adults for lunch or snack :).

Note:
  • Phulkas  puff out like balloon only if they are rolled out really thin in thickness.If they are rolled out       thick    they are heavy and not good enough to puff up.
  • Phulkas made like this stay soft for a longer time no matter even if you reheat them in a microwave later.
