CHAPATI (PHULKA)

(for 4, serving 1 or 2)

Ingredients:

1 cup Whole wheat flour (or 1/3 white + 2/3 whole wheat)
1/2 cup Water
1/4 tsp salt

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. Knead dough until it is smooth and elastic. Set aside for 30 minutes.
  4. Knead and divide dough into 4 to 6 parts.
  5. Roll each ball into atortilla like flat, about $\frac{1{8$" thick.
  6. Heat an ungreased skillet.
  7. Put phulka on it, and let it cook for about 1 minute (The top shouldjust start to look dry and small bubbles should just start to form).
  8. Turn and cook the second side for 2/3 minutes until small bubbles form.
  9. Turn again and cook the first side pressed lightly with a towel.
  10. It should puff. Serve warm (maybe slightly buttered).

Note: -----Since the rolled out chappati's will dry out if they are left to standwhile cooking the others, you may choose to roll them out individually before cooking.
