Stuffed Kulcha is a great bread. It’s so simple and so tasty that you don’t even need a curry or yogurt with it. I am using an oven to bake these but you can use a tandoor if you have one.
Preparation Time | 3 hours |
Servings | 4 Kulchas |
Difficulty | Medium |
Ingredients
All purpose flour (maida) | 1 cup |
Active Dry Yeast | 3/4 tsp |
Salt | 1/4 tsp |
Oil | 1 tbsp |
Milk | 80 ml |
A stuffing of your choice | 2 cups |
Kalonji for topping | 1 tsp |
Fresh Coriander Leaves | 1/4 cup chopped |
Method
-
- Mix flour, salt, yeast and 1/2 tsp oil.
-
- Knead it into a loose dough with lukewarm milk. The dough should be more loose than the roti dough. Add more water as required.
-
- Roll the stuffed kulcha dough in a little oil and let it rest covered, for about 2 hours. The dough will almost double in size.
-
- While the dough is resting, prepare the stuffing. I have used the potato filling – boil a big potato and grate it after peeling. Add chopped onion, chopped green chillies, chopped cilantro and mix. Add salt, red chilli powder, garam masala and mix again. Keep it aside.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the oven is heated, turn it to broil from the top.
- Divide the dough in 4 parts and roll them into balls.
-
- Take each dough ball and spread it with fingers. Fill it with a spoon full of stuffing. Repeat with other dough balls and leave them for 5 minutes. They will puff up slightly.
-
- Roll each dough ball to about 6 inches in diameter with the help of dry flour. Top it with kalonji seeds and coriander leaves.
-
- Put the rolled dough on a baking tray and put the tray in the preheated oven.
- Broil or grill for about 5 minutes and take them out once they start to get brown spots.
- Stuffed Kulcha is ready. Top it with butter and serve it hot.
