Aloo Kulcha

Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour (Maida)
• 0.25 cup Yogurt
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 3 medium Boiled potatoes, mashed
• 2 pieces Green chilies, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Amchur (Dry mango powder)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 3 tablespoons Ghee or Butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 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.
