how to do phulka /soft roti /chapathi
Most required day today staple food made almost every day In India called as chapathi,roti or phulkas. Although its very easy to make it needs little practice to get soft roti’s each time. For making a nice soft phulkas there is no such elaborate ingredients as such only three major things Atta,water and salt are much needed. Sometimes they even don’t add any salt if you are used to the taste without salt. If its made dry without any oil on tava and in open fire then its phulka. Normally for chapatti in our house without open fire cooking we make it on the tava itself by putting oil.When rolling roti
have to use flour and don’t use too much as it will burn the rotis while cooking. After making phulkas we can apply some ghee on top so that if we are keeping it for long hours also it will remain soft. The dough for making rotis needs to be soft and pliable so that we get soft roti’s every time. I usually add little oil while kneading itself but sometime without adding also it will puff up and be soft. So now we will see how to do phulkas. Sabzi’s ,any type of gravies and kurmas will all go excellently with these wonderful soft phulkas.

Notes
The same can be done on the tava itself without open fire.
If you are going to make it and keep for long hours then smear it in ghee on both sides and roll it in a towel or a cotton cloth and keep it closed this way the chapatis will be soft.
Don't use more flour while rolling then while cooking the flour and your roti will burn and it may not puff up.
Smearing the rotis with ghee at last will prevent it from drying and it will also enhance the taste.
Don’t put too much pressure while rolling rotis make it with light hands you will get evenly rolled roti’s.
Adding oil while kneading the dough is optional.
