Pulka fulka is a flat bread made with wheat flour. Chapathis, Roti, Rotili, Phulka, flat bread are some of the names given to this wounderful indian bread.. Pulka roti is most popular and famous gujarati roti and it is very easy to make.. The pulka fulka with the broad beans helps you plan your lunch and dinner....

Most of gujarati household enjoyed this as a daily meal.. It should be cooked on a sigri but a gas or electric stove will do if a sigri is not available.. We have a hand full of flour for shaping the dough into round and it is cooked on the stove top and finished sooking on an open flame which puffs up the bread into layers making it very soft..and it is rolled with any subzi (Broad beans subzi) which gives awesome and delicious taste...as well as a healthy one too..

Pulka stay good at room temperature for upto 2 days, place each roti between wax paper and put it in the zip lock bags...It can be served with almost any veg (Broad beans subzi)and non veg sidedishes and this is the every day food in every indian homes... Kids like to spread some jam or butter or sugar on the pulka, roll it and have it...
