This nutritious flatbread combines ragi (finger millet) with wheat for balanced nutrition. Ragi provides calcium and fiber while wheat adds gluten for elasticity. The "phulka" technique involves puffing the bread directly on flame. Traditionally a farmer's staple in Karnataka for sustained energy. Some versions include flaxseeds for omega-3s. Nutritionists recommend it for diabetics due to low glycemic index. The dough is typically kneaded with warm water for softness. Modern urban households have rediscovered it as a superfood alternative to plain wheat rotis. Best enjoyed fresh with any curry or chutney.
