Kulcha Recipe / Plain Kulcha Recipe

I love indian breads very much, they are so much versatile and can be made in few minutes to have with curries..I make them a lot for dinner..So i couldn't take pics of them. I have been getting request from my viewers to post kulcha recipe. So few days back i made these in the morning and had them with vegetable salna(recipe soon).

Normally kulchas, naan, tandoori rotis are made in a tandoor. But i have a fail proof method which works like a charm for my naans and kulchas..I have already showed you that method in my coriander naan recipe. This is how i make my naan bread and kulchas..Love that so much..So hope you will try it out and let me know how it turns out for you..

Preparation Time : 5 mins

Resting Time : 30 mins

Cooking Time :45 sec to 1 min for each kulcha

Makes : 8 to 10 kulcha

Ingredients:

All Purpose Flour / Maida - 2 cups

Sugar - 1.5 tblspn

Salt to taste

Baking Soda / Cooking Soda - 1 tsp

Curd - 4 tblspn

Oil - 2 tblspn

Water as needed

Nigella Seeds / Kalonji as needed

Butter or Ghee as needed to smear on top of kulcha

Method:

Take flour, salt, sugar and baking soda in a bowl. Mix well.

Add in 2 tblspn of oil and rub it with the flour so it is well mixed.

Now add in curd and water and make it into a soft dough.

Cover the dough and leave it to rest for 30 mins.

Now divide the dough into equal portions and take a ball.

Roll it into rounds. It should be little thick.

Now take some nigella seeds and sprinkle it over the kulcha, use a rolling pin to roll the nigella seed, so it is evenly spread and pressed over the kulcha.

Now flip it over, brush the other side with water.

Now place the water side over a hot tawa, as soon as you see some bubbles forming. show the tawa directly over hot flame. You will see black spots all over it..

Now remove the kulcha and spread it with butter or ghee.

Serve.
