PHULKA - MAKING DIRECT FLAME METHOD | NEVER SEEN STREET FOOD

Make dough by mixing water gradually to the flour (with salt), gather it with your fingers and make it a single mass, no need to knead hard.

Let it rest for 10-15 min (Keep closed), then again knead the dough to make it smooth. The dough should be soft and pliable, not hard and not sticky.

Make 8 equal sized balls out of the dough.

Roll into thin circles, not too thick. The size should be smaller, this makes the roti fit into the flame and puff easily.

Heat the tawa, keep in medium high flame and put the roti. Wait till small bubbles form and turn within few seconds, don't let it brown.

Let the other side get cooked and gets golden brown spots, now turn again and using a tong, take the roti and put over the flame directly (High flame). The side which we didn't brown too much should be under the flame.

Wait till it puffs and take it out and brush it with ghee/oil, if desired.
