Plain Kulcha

Ever since I had Kulchas in Amritsar during trip to Harmandir Sahib ( Golden Temple) I wanted to know and make Kulchas myself. This did not happen until this Sunday. So here is the recipe I followed.

• Ingredients Dough :
  • 2 Cups of Wheat Flour
  • 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 and 1/2 Cup of Milk
  • 1/2 tsp of Baking Powder
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tbsp of Sugar
  • Salt to taste
• Ingredients for Garnish
  • 1/2 Cup of Chopped Coriander.
  • 4 Chopped Green Chilies
  • 4 Chopped Cloves of Garlic
  • 1 tsp of Ajwain
  • 2 1/2 tbsp of Butter

• Preparation of Dough:
  • Mix Wheat Flour, All Purpose Flour, Butter, Baking Powder,  Salt, Sugar
  • Add Milk in small quantities and Knead the dough
  • Once done, roll the dough flat, spread a layer of butter and fold the dough, do this one more. ( this will form a layer of dough and butter)
  • Once done,  roll the dough straight, and Cut into small Balls to make Kulcha.
• Garnishing the Dough
  • Roll the Ball into a round shape. Add the Garnish of your liking.
  • I used, Coriander, Chilies, and Garlic in One
  • Ajwain in One.
  • On a heated Pan, Cook the Kulcha.

Enjoy Kulcha, You can fill it with Onion, Potatoes, or Paneer. Make Onion Kulcha, Allu Kulcha or Paneer Kulcha.
