Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour (Maida)
  • 1/4 cup Yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 3 medium Boiled potatoes, mashed
  • 2 pieces Green chilies, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon Amchur (Dry mango powder)
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons Ghee or Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1 teaspoon Nigella seeds (Kalonji)(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, yogurt, and 1 tablespoon of ghee; add water gradually to knead into a soft, smooth dough.

  2. 2

    Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.

  3. 3

    Prepare the stuffing by mixing mashed potatoes, green chilies, garam masala, amchur, salt, and coriander leaves in a separate bowl.

  4. 4

    Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized balls and the potato mixture into 8 corresponding portions.

  5. 5

    Flatten a dough ball, place a portion of the potato stuffing in the center, and gather the edges to seal it completely.

  6. 6

    Gently roll out the stuffed ball into a 6-inch diameter circle, sprinkling some nigella seeds and coriander on top if desired.

  7. 7

    Heat a tawa or griddle and place the kulcha on it, cooking until bubbles appear, then flip and apply ghee.

  8. 8

    Cook both sides until golden brown spots appear and the kulcha is puffed and cooked through.
