Methi Fulka


This is another usual recipe which I make especially for dinner. Instead of making plain roti or fulka's, it's always tastes better and healthy when you add some greens or ajwain or vegetables or even cumin seeds, just a little happy healthy ingredient. Here in this recipe I used Kasuri Methi which is dried methi leaves...I used this when I don't have fresh greens or ajwain which is good for digestion.

Ingredients:
--------------
2 cups Whole Wheat Atta
2 tbsp Kasuri Methi
Water as needed
1 pinch salt

Method:
----------
1. In a mixing bowl add all the ingredients except water and mix well, and then add enough water and knead to a chapati dough. Make sure the dough is not too hard or too soft, else the chapati will not rise and will be hard to eat.
2.Coat the dough with a little bit of oil, just about some 3-4 drops, and with a damp paper towel or kitchen towel cover it and let it rest for about 20 mins.
3. Now make lemon size balls, flatten each ball and coat with flour and roll it to small chapati's or fulka's.
4. Heat a non-stick tava and when it's hot place the fulka and when you see bubbles, turn it over and cook the other side.

5. Now turn the other side again after 2 mins and with a spatula press the sides where it starts to rise, so that the steam will pass to other sides and will help rise all over, as shown. 


6. Now remove it from the tava and place in a hot pack or in a box lined with damp kitchen towel, this will help to keep the fulka's soft.


7. I served these fulka's with Tofu Green Moong Dal Kofta Butter Masala


8. You can also serve with your choice of curry, sabji, curd or pickle.
