Plain Kulcha
Ever since I had Kulchas in Amritsar during a trip to Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple), I wanted to learn to make Kulchas myself. This did not happen until this Sunday. So here is the recipe I followed.
- 2 Cups of Wheat Flour
- 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 and 1/2 Cup of Milk
- 1/2 tsp of Baking Powder
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp of Sugar
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 Cup of Chopped Coriander.
- 4 Chopped Green Chilies
- 4 Chopped Cloves of Garlic
- 1 tsp of Ajwain
- 2 1/2 tbsp of Butter
Mix Wheat Flour, All Purpose Flour, Butter, Baking Powder, Salt, Sugar
Add Milk in small quantities and Knead the dough
Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes
Once done, roll the dough flat, spread a layer of butter and fold the dough. Do this once more (this will form layers of dough and butter)
Once done, roll the dough flat again and cut it into small Balls to make Kulcha.
Mix the Garnish ingredients with the Butter
Roll the Ball into a round shape. Add the Garnish of your liking.
I used Coriander, Chilies and Garlic in one
Ajwain in the other.
On a heated Pan, Cook the Kulcha.
Enjoy the Kulcha! You can fill it with Onion, Potatoes or Paneer to make Onion Kulcha, Allu Kulcha or Paneer Kulcha.
