Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1-2 tsp Salt or to taste
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- 1 cup Water or curd
Paneer Filling
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese crumbled
- 2-3 Chillies finely chopped, green
- ½ tsp Onion Seeds
For Serving
- Butter as needed
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda.
- Gradually add the water or curd, mixing until a soft dough forms. Kneading helps develop gluten, which gives the kulcha its structure.
- Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rest for at least 10 hours to allow for proper fermentation.
- In a separate bowl, crumble the paneer and combine it with the chopped green chilies, onion seeds, and a pinch of salt.
- After the dough has rested, divide it into equal-sized portions. Roll each portion into a small circle.
- Place a spoonful of the paneer filling in the center of each circle.
- Carefully bring the edges of the dough together to enclose the filling, pinching to seal.
- Gently roll out the filled dough balls into flatbreads.
- Heat a griddle or tawa over medium heat.
- Cook each kulcha for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown spots appear and the kulcha puffs up slightly.
- Spread a little butter on the cooked kulchas for added flavor and richness. Serve hot with your choice of curry or chutney.
