Roti/Phulka

Ruqaiya Shahid
Ruqaiya Shahid @ruqaiya_2

Simple roti or Phulka is a plain bread made of different types of flour which we make with our gravy dishes. Phulka is a medium size bread which literally fluffs and is very light. One can eat 2 Phulka easily in lunch as they are light and smaller.
For best fluffy bread you have to knead it for 5 mins and give it a rest of 1 hour at least.
My mom never adds salt or oil while kneading the dough.
