Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.25 cup Soy flour
• 0.25 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Warm water
• 2 teaspoons Ghee or oil (optional, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, soy flour, chickpea flour, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add warm water to the flour mixture, beginning with about 1/4 cup, and mix to form a dough.

Step 3

Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and pliable. If the dough is dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time and knead further; if it's sticky, dust with a little more whole wheat flour.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.

Step 5

After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal-sized portions and roll each portion into a smooth ball.

Step 6

Heat a tava or flat skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Take one dough ball and flatten it slightly. Dust it with a bit of flour and roll it out into a thin circle of about 6 inches in diameter using a rolling pin.

Step 8

Place the rolled phulka gently on the hot skillet. Cook one side for 30-40 seconds or until small bubbles start to appear.

Step 9

Flip the phulka and cook the other side for another 30-40 seconds.

Step 10

Using tongs, place the phulka directly over the flame (or use a wire rack on the stove) to puff up. Cook for 10-15 seconds each side or until it is lightly charred and puffed.

Step 11

Remove from the flame and optionally brush with ghee or oil.

Step 12

Repeat the rolling and cooking process for the remaining dough balls.

Step 13

Serve the high protein phulkas warm with your choice of curry or vegetable dish.
