Kulcha

Kulcha

Kulcha Ingredients:

Maida (Refined) flour / All Purpose Flour- 2 cups
Wheat flour – 2 cups
Oil – 2 tsp
Lemon Juice – 2 tsp
Sugar Powder – 2 tsp
Baking or Cooking Soda – 1/2 tsp
Salt
Coriander leaves / Cilantro – 1 cup
Teel (Sesame or Gingelly) – 1 tsp
Ghee / Clarified Butter

How to Prepare:

Hand mix all the ingredients in a vessel except the Coriander leaves, Sesame seeds and Ghee. Add a little water, knead the mixture well to form soft, smooth dough and keep it aside for 3-4 hours. The dough should become like Chapati dough.

Divide the kneaded dough into 20 equal pieces; roll out each piece like you would for a chapati or poori.

Apply little ghee on each of the rolled out pieces and place them on one another as shown below. Continue this process till all the 20 rolled out pieces are done.

Roll this with hand into a stick and cut into evenly sized pieces as shown in the image below. It forms a pattern like that of a Jalebi (like the Kulcha you have in your favorite restaurant) and should be rolled out just like chapati dough balls.

Drop on one side chopped coriander leaves and teel (sesame seeds), roll out the dough balls thin and roast on non-stick pan or grill. Use ghee if needed.

Kulcha becomes soft and layered when you prepare it as shown in the image.

This Kulcha can be served with Dal Fry, Malai Cashew nut Curry or any other sabjis.

Note:

1) Instead of rolling out 20 dough balls, hand roll to form a stick and cut it into pieces, you can roll out just a single dough ball, apply ghee and then hand roll that rolled out dough into a stick and press it the other side and make it a round shape. This also forms a pattern matching that of a Jalebi
