Dough preparation
In a bowl take whole wheat flour, slightly crushed cumin seeds, baking powder, and salt. Mix very well. Now add ghee. Rub the ghee in the flour till you get a breadcrumb-like texture in the flour. Now add water in parts and knead to a semi-soft dough.

Making phulka
Divide the dough into small equal-sized portions. Take each portion and make round balls out of it. Start rolling out the dough until we get around or circular disc-like shaped roti.
