This Sunday we cooked ourself a scrumptious North Indian Thali with Kulcha. These are simple to make and super delicious. Pair it up with some dhal and curry and treat yourself to a delicious meal.
Makes 8
Ingredients Required:
All Purpose Flour - 2 cups
Yogurt - 1/4 cup
Oil - 2 tblsp
Milk - 1/2 cup (warm)
Salt - 1 tsp
Sugar - 1 tsp
Baking Powder - 1 tsp
Baking soda - 1/4 tsp
Butter - to apply on top
Cilantro - finely chopped
Nigella/Black sesame Seeds - 1 tblsp
How to make?
- In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, Baking soda, salt and sugar. Mix well.
- Add in the yogurt, milk, oil and knead to a sticky dough
- If required sprinkle some water. Apply oil to your hands to avoid the dough sticking.
- Knead for 5 minutes.
- Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 2 hours
- Make 8 equal size balls.
- Take a ball of dough, place on a oiled surface to avoid sticking to the surface
- Gently spread out the dough to a circle, with your finger tips. If required you can use a rolling pin, but I prefer my hands.
- Lift the flattened dough, sprinkle some sesame seeds and chopped cilantro in the bottom and press the dough on top, so it sticks
- Generously brush with water on the top surface, this would make the kulcha stick to the pan so we can turn it upside down
- Heat a iron pan (or any pan that is not non-stick) to high heat
- Place the kulcha, water side down on the hot tawa.
- Reduce the heat to medium and in a minute you would see bubbles on the kulcha
- Turn the pan upside down so the top side faces the fire directly. Keep it this way for around 30 seconds till you get brown dots on the Kulcha
- Remove from pan with tongs, brush with butter on top and serve hot
We enjoyed these Kulcha's with some Dal Makhani, Stir Fry Gobi and a simple Jeera Rice!
