Chapati

CHAPATI (PHULKA)

for 4, serving 1 or 2)

Ingredients:

------------

1 c Whole wheat flour (or 1/3 white + 2/3 whole wheat)

1/2 c Water

Method:

-------

Put flour in a large bowl with half the water. Blend the two together until it holds. Beat and knead well until it forms a compact ball. Knead dough until it is smooth and elastic. Set aside for 30 minutes.

Knead and divide dough into 4 to 6 parts. Roll each ball into a tortilla like flat, about \frac{1{8" thick. Heat an ungreased skillet.

Put phulka on it, and let it cook for about 1 minute (The top should just start to look dry and small bubbles should just start to form).

Turn and cook the second side for 2/3 minutes until small bubbles form.

Turn again and cook the first side pressed lightly with a towel. It should puff. Serve warm (maybe slightly buttered).

Note:

-----

Since the rolled out chappati's will dry out if they are left to stand while cooking the others, it is advantageous to roll them out individually before cooking them.
