Indian wheat flour - 1 cup
Salt - to taste

PROCEDURE :

                                                                           

1.Put the flour, oil and salt in a large bowl with half the water. Adding just enough water knead well to make a soft, pliable dough. Knead dough until it is smooth and elastic. Set aside for 30 minutes.

                                                                     

2.Heat an ungreased griddle/skillet.

3.Knead dough again. Making 1/2 inch balls as needed. That is just before rolling. This is to make sure that the dough does not dry out. Roll each ball into a disc and make thin phulka 

                                                          

4.Put phulka on the hot griddle/skillet. Cook for about 1 minute, until the top starts to look dry and small bubbles start to form. Flip and cook the other side for 2/3 minutes until small bubbles form."(if need use cloth to put pressure on phulkas,so phulkas will puff up too)
