Phulka - soft chapathi with whole green gram curry

Phulka, as we all know, is made from wheat flour. This is a healthy breakfast and also very easy to prepare.

Whole green gram curry is one of the best combinations for Phulka and it is a nutritious side dish. 



Phulka 

Ingredients: 
Wheat flour - 3 cups
Salt - a pinch
Oil - 1 tsp
Water 

Add a pinch of salt to wheat flour, mix well. Then add oil, mix it, then add water little by little. Just we have to use our fingers to mix initially. 

Do not add water at once. It has to be added gradually. Mix well and slowly the soft dough gets ready. Close the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for half an hour.

Now make small balls from the dough and using a chapati rolling pin, spread it out into a round shaped chapati/roti. Take care it is rolled evenly thick. 

Heat an iron dosa pan. Do not add oil. Just put the chapati on the dry hot pan. Cook both the sides for a few seconds. 

Then remove it from the dosa pan and put it on a flat grill placed on the burner or on the flame directly.  Fluffy and soft Phulka is ready.
