Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (maida)
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- Salt to taste
- Water as needed
- 2 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)
- 1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
- 2-3 green chilies, chopped
- 1/2 cup mashed potatoes
- 1/2 cup boiled and mashed paneer (cottage cheese)
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder
- 1/2 tsp chaat masala
- Butter for brushing
Method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, yogurt, and water to form a soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 2-3 hours.
- In another bowl, prepare the stuffing by mixing mashed potatoes, paneer, green chilies, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, red chili powder, and chaat masala. Mix well and set aside.
- Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
- Flatten the dough ball slightly, place a spoonful of stuffing in the center, and seal the edges to enclose the filling.
- Roll out the stuffed dough ball gently to make a thick disc.
- Heat a tawa (griddle) and cook the kulcha on both sides until golden brown spots appear.
- Brush the kulcha with butter and serve hot with chole (chickpea curry) or yogurt.
