\"Spelt<\/p>\n

PHULKA! Have you hear of it? It's my new fave Indian vehicle for butter chicken<\/a>. YU-UM. Should we tell naan it's been replaced? Naaaah(n).<\/p>\n

As you can see, I have little of substance for you today in the word department. Who makes those kinds of jokes? ME. I make those kinds of jokes. Not at all sorry. Back to the phulka!<\/p>\n

Phulka is a whole wheat indian flat bread that literally had me screaming in the kitchen because it was LIKE A MAGIC SHOW to make! I'm so easily impressed. I only had spelt flour, so I used 100% spelt and these were incredible<\/em>! They're soft, a little bit charred, perfect for wrapping up flavorful veggies (or butter chicken) in little burrito - or just using it like naan to scoop straight into the mouth. Like I said: VEHICLE. I'm trying to think of a real vehicle to compare it to, but am drawing blanks. The only vehicles in my head these days are scooters!<\/p>\n

The magical part about making these is that after cooking one on both sides in the pan, you take it OUT of the pan and set it on the stove. I literally set it on my gas burner. It will then PUFF UP LIKE A MAGICAL CLOUD and the underside gets browned and beautiful and you're going to want to eat it immediately. Word of caution: don't do that. MOUTH BURN. Avoid it at all costs (seriously, mouth burn is the worst<\/em>).<\/p>\n

I really do prefer these to naan because I think the texture is better! And, they're debatably easier to make. You'll have to try both and let me know what you think - I'm pretty on the fence. Either way: these are fabulous! Also, I'm just now realizing that they're very similar to delicious flour tortillas, and YOU KNOW how I feel about flour tortillas. #OBSESSED. Really though, they're super easy to throw together and we all know that whole wheat anything is basically like eating a salad (hehe) so... go for it!<\/p>\n

And don't worry - I have something delicious coming up Thursday to stuff into these yummies!<\/p>\n
