PULKA!!

As I already told you when I was beginner Iam not so much expert in making Chapatis so in order to make my rotis softer I always prepared only Pulkas instead of chapatis.

Yes! The pulkas are very soft and puffy texture that you cannot stop by eating just one.

Also pulkas are very ideal for travelling as they keeps soft texture for very long time.Moreover they are oil less so you can eat them guild free.

The recipe is not much tough just a few tricks make your pulkas very softer.

METHOD :

1) In a bowl mix wheat flour and salt ,add water little by little and knead the flour with hand to form a mass dough .The dough must not stick to your hand , also it must form to a ball that will not stick to bowl sides too (as like in picture) ,that is the right consistency .

2) Let the dough rest for 30 mins .Then make small balls out of it .

3) Flatten each ball using your roller and pin to make small discs,The discs doesn't need to be too thin ,little thicker is ok.

4) Heat tawa and place the flatten disc(pulka) on the hot tawa and boil in medium flame till it changes its colour.





Pulka changes its colour

 

5) Once the pulka changes its colour flip it to next side and press slightly with your spatula (pressing helps to forms air bubbles that makes the pulkas softer and puff easily)

can you see the bubbles!!

6) When pulka starts forming bubbles remove from tawa and flip it over the pulka pan.Pls remember u need to flip it over the pulks pan.

7) You can see the pulkas puffs up as in picture.

8) Once they completely puffs up remove from flame and keep in a closed container.

9)That’s all!!! Do the same process for all the balls and store in a airtight container to keep your pulkas softer even for a day.

10)  I served with Broccoli Sprouted moongdal masala , you can serve with any sidedish of your choice.

NOTES :

1) Kneading the dough is very important process so pls knead it to right consistency as shown in above picture.

2) Don’t keep the prepared pulkas in open air , this will make them to lose its soft texture.

3) Don’t add oil at any stage.

4) Some of suggested sidedish that goes well with pulkas are , Elephantyam curry , Tomato egg masala , Kerala coconut chutney ,Ground masala Chicken kuzhambu  , Chicken gravy , Prawn Kuzhambu , Dry fishgravy …(click here to view more sidedishes)
