About Phulka

Phulka is a type of unleavened flatbread commonly consumed in Indian cuisine. Made from whole wheat flour (atta), water, and a pinch of salt, it is rolled into thin circles and cooked on a hot griddle or directly over an open flame, causing it to puff up. Phulkas are traditionally served alongside curry, lentils, or vegetables, forming a staple part of a balanced meal. Nutritionally, phulkas are a good source of complex carbohydrates, fiber, and essential minerals like iron and magnesium, contributing to sustained energy and digestion. They are low in fat, especially when cooked without added oil or ghee. However, consuming excess quantities can lead to high calorie intake, depending on portion size and accompanying dishes. Their simplicity and wholesome ingredients make phulkas a versatile and healthful choice within a traditional Indian diet.
