1 tsp Ginger (chopped)

handful Dry Fenugreek Leaves (Methi)

Instructions

1

Combine the wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, curd, and oil. Knead into a soft, smooth dough using water. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2

In a bowl, mix grated potatoes, cottage cheese, onions, green chilis, ginger, and all spices. Add fresh coriander and mix well to form the stuffing.

3

Divide the dough into small balls. Flatten each ball slightly and place a portion of the stuffing in the center.

4

Gather the edges of the dough to seal the stuffing inside, then gently roll it out into an oval or round shape.

5

Sprinkle some water on one side of the rolled kulcha and press sesame seeds and kalonji onto the damp surface.

6

Heat a tawa. Place the kulcha on it (water-side down). Cook until bubbles form, then flip the tawa to cook the top directly over the flame for an authentic char.

7

Once browned, remove from heat, brush generously with butter, and serve hot.
