Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons Curd
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ cup water
  • 2.5 teaspoons sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2.5 tablespoons oil
  • some oil
  • extra flour
  • 2 tablespoons nigella seeds

Instructions

Making Dough

  • In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder.
  • Create a well in the middle. Add the water, oil, and yogurt.
  • Before beginning to knead, start by combining the liquid ingredients with the flour. Make a dough that is soft, elastic, and smooth.

Rolling And Making Kulcha

  • Let the dough rest for two hours in the same basin or pan, covered with a moist kitchen towel.
  • Create tiny dough balls and slightly flatten them. On the dough ball, scatter some sesame or nigella seeds.
  • Each piece of dough should be flattened with a rolling pin before being rolled into a tiny kulcha.
  • Do not roll out thin; rather, they should be around the same thickness as a paratha or somewhat thicker.
  • preheat a tawa or flat skillet. On the heated tawa, place the kulcha.
  • One side should be cooked until it is 1/4 done. After flipping, grill the opposite side until it is halfway done.
  • While roasting, brush oil or ghee on the kulcha's two sides. If you'd prefer, you can omit the oil or ghee.
  • Roast the kulcha until it has golden spots and is evenly cooked, flipping it several times as necessary. Make other kulchas in a similar manner.
  • The cooked kulcha should be stacked in a roti basket as you prepare them to keep them warm.
  • Kulcha should be served hot with chana masala.
