Instructions

1

Activate the yeast by mixing yeast, sugar, and warm water in a bowl. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.

2

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons of oil. Knead for about 8-10 minutes to form a smooth, elastic dough. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

3

While the dough is rising, prepare the stuffing. In a bowl, mash the boiled potatoes. Add chopped green chili, coriander leaves, amchur powder, red chili powder, garam masala, cumin seeds, and salt to taste. Mix well to combine.

4

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Roll out one ball into a small disc (around 4 inches in diameter). Place about 2 tablespoons of the potato stuffing in the center.

5

Gather the edges of the dough disc around the stuffing and pinch to seal completely. Flatten gently and roll out carefully to a 6-7 inch round, making sure the stuffing remains inside without breaking the dough.

6

Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled kulcha on the hot tawa. Cook for about 2 minutes on one side until bubbles appear.

7

Flip the kulcha and apply a little butter on the cooked side. Flip again and apply butter on the other side. Cook until both sides are golden brown and slightly charred, about 3-4 minutes total.

8

Repeat with the remaining dough and stuffing. Serve hot with chole (spiced chickpea curry) and additional butter.
