Roti/Phulka – Indian Flat Bread
Phulka (Fulka) or Roti is an unleavened flat-bread from South Asia and a staple diet in many homes in India. Rotis are made from whole wheat flour dough which is rolled and cooked on a skillet and then over direct heat where it is puffed up. Roti is generally served with dal/pappu and with so many other curries (veg and non-veg). You can also spread some butter or ghee/clarified butter which is optional. When you cook on electric stove, a metal mesh is used since the coil is not suitable. If it is gas stove you can cook the rotis over direct heat. The metal mesh is generally available in the local Indian stores in the U.S. I do not use any oil for making rotis and it stays soft. You can roll up the remaining rotis in an aluminum foil...
