1 c Whole wheat flour (or 1/3 white + 2/3 whole wheat)
1/2 c Water

Put flour in a large bowl with half the water. Blend the two together
until it holds. Beat and knead well until it forms a compact ball.
Knead dough until it is smooth and elastic. Set aside for 30 minutes.
Knead and divide dough into 4 to 6 parts. Roll each ball into a
tortilla like flat, about $frac{1{8$" thick. Heat an ungreased
skillet.
Put phulka on it, and let it cook for about 1 minute (The top should
just start to look dry and small bubbles should just start to form).
Turn and cook the second side for 2/3 minutes until small bubbles form.
Turn again and cook the first side pressed lightly with a towel. It
should puff. Serve warm (maybe slightly buttered).
Note:
-----
Since the rolled out chappati\'s will dry out if they are left to stand
while cooking the others, it is advantageous to roll them out
individually before cooking them.
