Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Make a well in the center and add yogurt, water, and oil. Mix until a soft dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare Filling

    In a bowl, combine the boiled and mashed potatoes, cumin seeds, green chilies, ginger, coriander powder, garam masala, salt, and fresh coriander leaves. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Making Aloo Kulcha

  1. 5

    Divide and Roll

    After the dough has rested, divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into a small ball, then flatten it slightly.

  2. 6

    Stuff the Filling

    Place a spoonful of the potato filling in the center of each flattened dough. Bring the edges together and pinch to seal the filling inside. Flatten gently.

  3. 7

    Roll Out the Kulcha

    Dust the stuffed dough ball with flour and roll it out into a circle about 6-8 inches in diameter.

  4. 8

    Cook the Kulcha

    Heat a tava or skillet over medium heat. Cook the rolled kulcha for about 2-3 minutes on each side, brushing with ghee or butter until golden brown.

  5. 9

    Serve

    Serve hot with yogurt or pickle on the side.
