50 Grams
Salt
1 Grams
Water
100 Milliliter
Black pepper powder
2 Grams

Instructions

1
Dough preparation
Firstly in a mixing bowl, add the wheat flour. Add salt, coriander leaves, black pepper powder, and mix well. Add water gradually and knead the flour. Knead it into a soft, smooth, and pliable dough. Cover the dough with a muslin cloth and rest it aside for about 15 minutes.
2
Making phulka
Divide the dough into small equal-sized portions. Take each portion and make round balls out of it. Use a rolling pin and girdle. Onto the girdle, dust some wheat flour. Start rolling out the dough until we get a round or circular disc-like shaped roti.
3
Cooking
Heat the tawa/skillet. Take the roti in your hands and place it on the tawa. Cook the bottom side for few seconds on medium flame. When slight air bubbles appear at the top flip the roti and cook the other side very well. Immediately take the roti out on a plate.
4
Serving
Place the rotis on a plate. Serve hot with veg stir-fries or veg curries and dal.

Health Goals Suitability

Weight Loss

At just 84.4 kcal per serving, this is an excellent choice for weight management. The 3.3g of dietary fiber promotes satiety, helping you feel full longer.

Diabetes

With a low glycemic index of 44, this recipe supports stable blood sugar levels. The 3.3g fiber further slows glucose absorption.

Muscle Gain

Low protein content (3g per serving) — not sufficient alone for muscle building. Combine with high-protein sides like paneer, eggs, chicken, dal, or a protein shake to reach 25-30g protein per meal.

Heart Health

Zero cholesterol and low saturated fat (0.1g) make this heart-friendly. Low sodium content is ideal for blood pressure management.

PCOS

Low GI (44) with 3.3g fiber supports insulin sensitivity — key for PCOS management.

Thyroid

No goitrogenic ingredients — generally safe for thyroid conditions. The spices aid digestion, which can be sluggish in hypothyroidism.

Portion Guidance

Weight Loss

1 Medium Piece (~41.2g). A light, kcal-friendly portion. Pair with roti or salad for a complete meal under 300 kcal.

Muscle Gain

1 Medium Piece (~41.2g) plus a protein-rich addition (100g paneer, 2 eggs, or 1 cup dal) to hit 25-30g protein per meal.

Diabetes

1 Medium Piece (~41.2g). Pair with whole wheat roti (not rice) to lower glycemic load. Eat protein and fiber portions first, carbs last.

General

1 Medium Piece (~41.2g) provides a balanced portion. Adjust based on your daily kcal target — track accurately in the Hint app.

Recipe Modifications

Boost protein

Add 50g paneer, a boiled egg, or a side of sprouted moong dal. Stirring in 1 tbsp of peanut butter also adds 4g protein.

Meal prep friendly

Coriander roti stores well for 2-3 days refrigerated. Reheat on stovetop for best texture. Prepare ingredients in advance for quick weeknight cooking.

Common Mistakes

Not measuring serving size

Why it matters: The nutrition values are for 1 standard serving. Eating 2-3x the serving means 2-3x the kcal (168.9-253.3 kcal).

Fix: Use the Hint app to scan and log the exact portion you eat for accurate tracking.
