In this blog post, we will show you how to make the perfect Amritsari Kulcha at home.

Ingredients:

For the dough:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup plain yogurt

1/2 cup milk

2 tbsp oil

For the filling:

2 large potatoes, boiled and mashed

1 onion, finely chopped

2 green chilies, finely chopped

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 tsp coriander powder

1 tsp amchur powder

1 tsp red chili powder

Salt to taste

For the topping:

2 tbsp butter, melted

Chopped coriander leaves

Instructions:

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

Add the yogurt, milk, and oil to the bowl. Mix well to form a soft dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for 2 hours.

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a pan, heat some oil and add cumin seeds. Once the cumin seeds start to splutter, add chopped onions and green chilies. Saute until the onions turn translucent.

Add the mashed potatoes and mix well. Add coriander powder, amchur powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for a few minutes. Let the filling cool down.

After the dough has rested, divide it into equal-sized balls. Flatten each ball with your palm and place some filling in the center. Seal the edges and roll it out into a thick disc.

Heat a tawa or griddle on medium heat. Place the rolled-out kulcha on the tawa and cook until bubbles start to appear on the surface. Flip the #kulcha and cook the other side for a few seconds.

Once both sides are cooked, brush some melted butter on top of the #kulcha. Sprinkle some chopped coriander leaves on top.

Serve hot with #chole, raita, or any other side dish of your choice.

Tips:

Knead the dough well to get a soft and fluffy #kulcha.

Let the dough rest for at least 2 hours to get a good texture.

Use a tawa or griddle to cook the # kulcha as it gives a nice crispiness to the outer layer.

Brushing melted butter on top of the# kulcha gives it a nice sheen and enhances the flavor.

Things to avoid:

Don't overstuff the #kulcha with the filling as it may tear while rolling out.

Don't roll out the kulcha too thin, as it may not puff up properly.
