A popular indian breakfast liked by all. This recipe has fond memories when i first had stuffed kulcha at the best joint in amritsar. Knead the dough with curd to have the softest kutcha.Make these on the tawa or griddle at home.You may smoke them with coal covered for a few minutes for that rustic flavor.

Served best with Rajma Masala ,Chana Masala or Makhani Dal . Few other stuffed indian breads you may like: a Italian parantha, Soya Parantha, Doli Ki roti, Whole-wheat Broccoli parantha.

Ingredients
For the Kulcha Dough
  • 2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup dahi /curd
  • 2 tsp Desi Ghee/ Clarified Butter/Oil
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
Onion Filling
  • 2 big onions chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder
  • 1 green chili chopped
  • 2 tsp coriander powder/ Dhania Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Jeera powder /cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala five spice powder
  • 1 pinch carom seeds / Ajwain
  • 1/2 tsp dry mango powder / amchoor powder
  • 2 tbsp cilantro / green coriander leaves
Topping /Garnish
  • 2 tbsp Onion seeds/ Black til seeds
  • few cilantro / green coriander garnish
  • Yellow butter
To cook the Kkulcha
  • Griddle / Tawa or oven
Servings: Kulcha
Instructions
  1. How to prepare the dough: Firstly, in a deep bowl. Add all the ingredients of the dough. Mix well.
  2. Now, add water little at a time, and knead a smooth soft dough. Make a soft but not sticky dough.
  3. Keep it aside for 15 minutes on a warm place in the kitchen.
  4. For the Filling: Finely chop the onions and add all the spices except the salt. Add the salt only when just about to prepare the kulchas as onions leave water which may break the kucha while rolling.
  5. Take a dough ball and roll it a bit with the rolling pin. Now add the stuffing and close the ball by getting all the sides to the centre. Press to seal and them put it on the shelf.
  6. Press it lightly with your palm and then add the black til seeds and dhania leaves.Press a bit to stick the seeds on to the ball.
  7. Turn the ball around and sprinkle some dry flour and start rolling.Make a flat bread with a thickness of .5 cm approx.
  8. Do not turn while rolling as we need to have the til seeds side on the bottom.
  9. Now , apply some water on the side facing you. Pick the kulcha and place it on the hot griddle or tawa ( water applied side on to the bottom.). Cook for a few minutes on medium heat.
  10. Now, hold the tawa and turn upside down , with the kulcha facing the flame directly. Keep cooking by moving the tawa and looking the kulcha closely. Cook evenly .
  11. Turn the tawa around again. Pour some desi ghee on top. Release the kulcha from the tawa with the help of a knife.
  12. Serve hot with butter glaze. Best served with rajma masala or dal makhani or chana masala.( Recipes on the blog)

    These look lovely. I bet they are especially good when nice and warm. I would definitely eat these with a warm bowl of soup or a curry.

    The hubs is a meat and bread kind of guy and now that’s it’s the fall season, I’m slowly introducing them into our meals again. We love to make rosemary chicken and this dish sounds perfect as a side or appetizer to share with the family.
