Kulchas are absolutely soft
If you will check after breaking them then you
will realise that they have expanded well.
Namaskar!
I am Nisha Madhulika
Today, we will make Kulchas
They similar to the Kulchas which are available in the market.
But, we won't bake these at home
We will cook these on a griddle
It will be tastier to eat. Come, let us start the preparation
Firstly, we will knead a dough to make the Kulchas
We took 2 cups of refined flour in a bowl
Add a teaspoon of instant dry active yeast to it
There is no need to active this yeast, it is pre-activated
We will add it directly to the refined flour
Add a teaspoon of sugar to it
Add a 1/2 teaspoon of salt to it
Mix it well
Knead the soft dough using lukewarm water
In the beginning, the dough will stick to your hands while kneading it
Later on, when you knead it using some oil then it becomes smooth
Mash and knead it for 4 to 5 minutes as shown
Apply some oil on your palms and mash it
We have kneaded the smoother dough
The hands cannot feel the particles of sugar
We took a cup of water to knead the required quantity of dough
from which 2 to 2.5 cups of water is still remaining
Cover and place it at a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours
The dough has expanded twice to its original size within an hour.
It has fermented well
It is the season of summers
that's why dough ferments very quickly
It might have taken 2 to 2.5 hours to ferment
if it would have been the season of winters.
Sometimes, it may take a longer time too
Make sure that you check the dough as per the season
Now, we will punch and mash it
So this is the dry flour
Apply it on your palms
and coat dough while punching it as shown
You just have to do it for a while, do not do it for the longer period
The dough is ready
Now, we will make its Kulcha
To make the Kulchas, we will lift the dough and divide it into some lumps
Use the dry flour
Cut it using the knife
Firstly, we will divide it into a half
Now, I will divide it into three parts
Prepare its dough lump
Coat it with dry flour and keep it aside
Prepare all the dough lumps likewise
We made the lumps from the whole dough
Cover and keep it aside. You can cover it with a cotton cloth
I am covering them with the lid
Now, we will make its Kulcha
Preheat a pan to make the Kulchas
Turn the flame to low
Let it heat
To cook the Kulcha, lift a dough lump
Coat it with the dry flour
Place it on a board and press it softly using your hands.
Flatten it thinly into a oval shaped dough
Sprinkle some dry fenugreek leaves on it
and flatten it
We have taken the dry fenugreek leaves, you can use coriander leaves instead of it
The Kulcha has flattend well
Spread a round shaped butter paper over it before cooking the Kulcha
You can use plain paper instead of it
Grease it with some oil
You can use a round shaped sillicon too
It helps to avoid the Kulcha from dark spots
The wok has heated
Place Kuclha on it for cooking it
Let it cook for 2 minutes
Keep the flame on low
In the meantime, we will flatten the another Kulcha
2 minutes have passed
Flip it
Cover and cook it from the another side too
We have cooked it for 2 minutes from another side too
Kulcha has cooked
Place the another Kulcha for cooking
We have cooked all the Kulchas
Kulchas has semi-cooked
Wrap them in a polythene sheet or butter paper for storing them
You can store them in an air tight container too
Come, let us cook these for serving
Here, we have preheated the pan
Add some clarified butter to it, you can use butter too
Place the Kulcha over it and keep the flame on medium
Cook the Kulcha while flipping it until it becomes brown from both sides
Kulcha has cooked well from both the sides
It appears golden brown to us
It is ready to be served
Let us cook other Kulcha too
Kulcha is ready to be served
You can serve these with hot Chole curry or Soya Nutri curry
It will taste delicious while eating
Cooking these is a simple process, all you have to do is to stay attentive
While kneading its dough, mash it well to make it smooth
It is the season of summer
Check it within an hour, it will expand well
It might take a longer time during the season of winters
Cooking it is an easier process
