Ingredients
Kulcha
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- ¾ teaspoon Salt
- ¾ cup Curd + 1-2 Teaspoons
- 1 Teaspoon Oil
Filling
- ¼ Cup chopped Garlic
- 2-3 chopped Green Chillies
- ¼ Cup chopped Coriander Leaves
- 1 Teaspoon Chaat Masala
- 1 ½ Cup grated Mozzarella Cheese
Topping
- 2-3 Tablespoons chopped Garlic
- 1-2 Tablespoons chopped Coriander Leaves
- ¼ Cup grated Mozzarella Cheese
- 2 Tablespoons Butter softened for brushing, optional
Instructions
Kulcha
- Add flour, baking soda, sugar and salt to a mixing bowl. Make a well in the middle and add 3/4th cup curd. Mix to combine using a spoon or a spatula. Knead together for 3-4 minutes or until it forms a smooth dough. Add 1-2 teaspoons of curd extra if necessary.
- Add a teaspoon of oil and coat the surface of the dough. Cover and rest for 2 hours.
Filling
- Add all the ingredients to a bowl and combine to mix.
- Refrigerate until ready to use.
Assembly
- Preheat the tawa while you stuff the kulcha
- Dust the surface with some flour. Divide the dough into 5 portions, about 85-90 grams per portion and set aside. Take one portion and flatten it out using your hands or a rolling pin. Roll the dough out to ¼th inch thickness.
- Place 2-3 tablespoons of filling in the center. Pull in the dough from the sides to the center making a ball/pocket. Seal by pinching the dough in the middle and pinch off any excess dough, as shown in the video.
- Once filled, roll out the dough again to ⅛ - ¼th inch thickness. Sprinkle a few drops of water and add some chopped garlic, coriander and cheese. Spread it around and ensure it sticks to the dough.
- Flip it over and sprinkle more water on the other side. Spread it around and stick this side onto a hot tawa. Make sure the tawa is cast iron or steel and non-stick.
- Cover and cook for 45 seconds on medium heat. Remove the lid and turn the tawa directly over the flame. Cook for 1-2 minutes moving the tawa around to ensure the kulcha browns evenly.
- Turn the tawa back, use a spatula to remove the kulcha.
- Brush the kulchas with softened butter once done and serve immediately.
