METHOD
- In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, oil and curd. Sprinkle warm water and knead to a soft, firm dough.
- Cover with a damp cloth and keep it in a warm place for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the damp cloth and knead the dough a little. Then divide it into fist-sized balls.
- Flatten a dough ball on a flat surface and press some onion seeds and fresh coriander into it.
- Turn the dough ball over so that the coriander-onion seed side is pressed down.
- Dust a little plain flour on the plain side and roll it into an oval shape.
- Brush with water and transfer the rolled-out dough to a hot tawa with the coriander-onion seed side facing up.
- Cook for a couple of minutes till you see the dough puffing up.
- Flip sides to cook on both sides. Within a couple of minutes, you’ll see the kulcha puffing up and the surface getting a few burn spots.
- Brush with butter and serve hot.
