- 1/2 tsp Sugar
- 1 cup Yogurt plain, full-fat curd
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tsp Water as needed for dough consistency
For the Chole
- 1 cup Peas dried, soaked overnight and boiled until tender, white
- 2 tsp Coriander Powder roasted for enhanced flavor
- 1/2 tsp Chili Flakes adjust to your spice preference, red
- 1 tsp Salt kala namak, black

Instructions
Prepare the Kulcha Dough
- Combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, oil, sugar, salt, and yogurt in a bowl. Gradually add water, kneading until a soft, pliable dough forms. Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes.
Make the Kulchas
- Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle (like a chapati). Sprinkle with water. Cook on a hot griddle or tawa until lightly browned and puffy on both sides.
Prepare the Chole
- In a pan, heat oil. Saute chopped green chilies and add turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili flakes. Stir in the boiled white peas, black salt, salt, garam masala (if using), and lemon juice. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve
- Serve the hot kulchas with the spicy chole. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Chole Kulcha
- For extra fluffy kulchas, use full-fat yogurt and let the dough rest for at least an hour.
- Roasting the coriander seeds before grinding enhances their flavor significantly in the chole.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies and chili flakes to control the spice level according to your preference.
- For a richer flavor in the chole, add a teaspoon of ginger paste and a pinch of asafoetida (hing).
