Chapati Or Phulka Style Rotis
If you've never made your own rotis, it's not too late. Making these at home is easy and the roti is so light and fluffy that you most certainly cannot eat just one. I used to wrestle with dry and hard rotis that could be used as frisbees the next day but no more!!! Over the lockdown, and one giant bag of atta later, I perfected the Phulka - soft puffy Chapatis that stay soft for at least two days.
Ingredients
| Atta | 3 Cup (48 tbs) | |
| Salt | 1/2 Teaspoon | |
| Oil | 1 Teaspoon (plust extra for greasing the roties) | |
| Hot water | 250 Milliliter | |
| All purpose flour | 1 Tablespoon (for kneading) |
Directions
GETTING READY:
1. Add the salt and oil to the flour and add the hot water a little at a time incorporating gradually.
2. When the dough cools down and is comfortable to handle, knead till smooth.
3. Cover and allow the dough to rest for 15 mins.
MAKING:
4. After it’s rested, add flour as required and knead.
5. Divide in half and form into a log and divide again into small balls about 40 gms each.
6. Using flour to prevent sticking, flatten into discs, then roll rotating and flipping the roti.
7. Once all are rolled out, heat a pan, tava or griddle and lightly cook the roti on one side and then flip over.
8. Using metal tongs, place the roti over the direct flame, the steam will cause it to puff, cook this on both sides.
9. Place in a container and brush with oil on both sides to prevent the roti from drying out.
SERVING:
10. Serve and enjoy!
