Phulka - Low cal Indian bread,

Phulka is another commonly made, easy to make Indian flat bread-roti. It is a no fat, low calorie version of chapati. It is a favorite of those watching their fat intake as there is no oil added as in chapati. It should be eaten hot.

You can mix the dough and keep it in the fridge for 2-3 days. It takes only a couple of minutes to make a phulka.

Ingredients

• whole wheat flour - 1 cup
• Salt - 1/4 tea spoon
• water - to make dough
• Dry whole wheat flour for rolling

Cooking Method

1. Mix salt in the wholewheat flour. Add water little by little and form into a dough. Knead well and keep aside for half an hour.
2. Divide the dough in lime sized balls.
3. Heat a girdle. Keep the heat medium. It should not be smoking hot.
4. Dip a dough ball in the dry flour. Sprinkle a little flour on the board. Place the ball on it and roll into a round of about 6" size with the rolling pin. Use a little more dry flour if needed.
5. Place the flat round on the hot girdle. Wait for about 5 seconds. Turn on the other side. Let it cook for about 10 seconds.
6. Remove from the girdle and place it directly on the open flame. It will puff up like a ball. Remove from fire. Make other pulkas in the similar way. 

You may add a little ghee, butter or oil on it if you wish. Serve it hot with any curry or vegetable dish of your choice such as:
