Title: Chapati (Phulka)
Categories: Polkadot Bread Indian
Yield: 4 Servings

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

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 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).
