CHAPATHI/ROTI(PHULKA)

CHAPATHI/ROTI(PHULKA)


This is one of the simplest preparations of  chapathi/roti. It does not need much effort. As ghee is not used much, it goes as a part of the normal meals.
Ingredients:
wheat flour(atta)-2 cups,
salt-a pinch and
ghee-2 tsps(optional)

PHULKA

Method:
Knead the atta adding salt and the required quantity of water to make a soft dough.
Keep it aside for 30 mts/1 hour.
Make small lemon size balls out of it.
Keep the roti tawa on the stove with a medium flame.
Roll the chapathis  one by one.
Put one roti on the tawa, cook one side a little.
Turn it to the other side and roast it again a little.
Remove the tawa from the stove with one hand with one pair of tongs, raise the flame to high and roast the roti directly on the flame, using another lighter tong.
As soon as the roti gets puffed on one side, turn it over and cook the other side also.
The roasting is a fast process . Hence care should be taken to see that the roti does not get burnt.
When one roti is finished, bring the flame again to medium, lower the tawa on the flame and continue the process till all the rotis are made.
As an option, a few drops of ghee can be applied on the surface of each roti, as soon as it is done, to ensure that it remains soft for a longer time.
