Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough Base

Add 2 cups of whole wheat flour to a wooden bowl.

Step 2: Add Salt

Add ½ tsp of salt to the flour.

Step 3: Combine with Hot Water

Pour ¾ cup of hot water into the flour mixture and combine using a spoon until it has cooled down enough to handle.

Step 4: Knead the Dough

Once the mixture has cooled down, knead it using your hands. Sprinkle more water if required, a few drops at a time, until a smooth dough forms. This will take approximately of continuous kneading.

Step 5: Apply Oil and Rest

Add ½ tsp of oil to the smooth dough and spread it evenly over the surface. Cover the dough with a wet cloth and let it rest for .

Step 6: Form Dough Balls

After resting, take a small portion of the dough, around the size of a large lemon, and roll it into a smooth ball between your palms.

Step 7: Dust and Roll

Dust the dough ball with whole wheat flour. Place it on a rolling board and roll it out thinly into a circular shape using a rolling pin, ensuring even thickness.

Step 8: Cook on Tawa

Place the rolled dough on a preheated tawa (griddle) over medium-high heat. Cook for approximately until small bubbles start to appear on the surface.

Step 9: Puff on Direct Flame

Carefully transfer the phulka to a direct high flame on the gas stove using tongs. Cook for a few seconds until it starts to puff up completely. Flip and cook for a few more seconds until brown spots appear on both sides.

Step 10: Alternative Cooking Method (Optional)

Optionally, you can also cook the phulka completely on the tawa by pressing gently with a wooden spatula until brown spots start to appear on both sides and it puffs up.

Step 11: Serve

Serve the hot and fresh phulkas immediately with your favorite curry or side dish.
