• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup yogurt
• 1 tbsp ghee or melted butter
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
• 1 cup water

Method

1. 1

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

2. 2

   Add yogurt and ghee to the flour mixture. Begin to knead, adding water gradually until a soft dough forms.

3. 3

   Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 20-30 minutes.

4. 4

   After resting, divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

5. 5

   Roll each ball into a flat disc about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle cumin seeds on top and gently press them into the dough.

6. 6

   Heat a tawa (griddle) or skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled kulcha on the hot surface and cook until bubbles form on the top.

7. 7

   Flip the kulcha and cook for another minute or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining dough.

8. 8

   Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot with your favorite curry or chutney.
