Dough

Method

Prepare the Dough

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the yeast is activated, add it to the flour mixture along with yogurt and oil. Mix until a dough begins to form.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Prepare the Filling

  1. 6

    Sauté Onions

    In a pan, heat a little oil and add cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add the finely chopped onions, green chili, and salt. Sauté until the onions are translucent.

  2. 7

    Finish the Filling

    Add garam masala and chopped cilantro to the onion mixture. Mix well and remove from heat. Let it cool down.

Assemble and Cook

  1. 8

    Divide Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions, about the size of a golf ball.

  2. 9

    Fill the Naan

    Take one portion of dough, flatten it into a circle, and place a spoonful of the onion filling in the center. Fold the edges over the filling and pinch to seal.

  3. 10

    Roll the Kulcha

    Gently roll out the filled dough into a flat circle, being careful not to let the filling escape.

  4. 11

    Cook the Kulcha

    Preheat a tandoor or skillet. Cook each kulcha on high heat until it puffs up and develops a nice golden brown color on both sides. You can brush with butter or ghee before serving.
