Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup warm water (adjust as needed)
  • 2 tbsp oil (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 green chilies, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1/2 tsp chaat masala (optional)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add yogurt and warm water gradually to form a soft dough. Knead for about 8 minutes until smooth. Cover and rest for 1 hour.
  • While the dough rests, heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds, then sauté onions, chilies, and salt until the onions turn translucent and slightly caramelized. Stir in chopped cilantro and chaat masala. Let the mixture cool.
  • Divide dough into equal-sized balls. Roll one ball into a small circle, place a spoonful of onion filling in the center, fold the edges over to seal, then gently roll out again to about 6 inches in diameter.
  • Heat a skillet on medium-high. Cook each kulcha with a little oil until golden brown and puffed, about 2 minutes per side. Serve hot with butter or your favorite curry.
