Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough:
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
Add the yogurt and oil/ghee. Mix well.
Gradually add water and knead into a soft, smooth dough.
Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 1 hour.
2. Prepare the Stuffing:
In another bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, onion, green chilies, cumin seeds, carom seeds, red chili powder, garam masala, amchur/lemon juice, coriander leaves, and salt.
Mix well and form small balls of the stuffing.
3. Shape the Kulchas:
Divide the dough into equal portions.
Roll out one portion into a small disc, place a portion of the stuffing in the center, and bring the edges together to seal.
Gently flatten and roll into a thick oval or round kulcha (do not press too hard so that the stuffing doesn't come out). Sprinkle some black sesame seeds or nigella seeds and press gently.
4. Cook the Kulcha:
Option 1: On a griddle
Heat a griddle over medium-high heat. Apply a little water to one side of the kulcha and place the wet side down on the griddle.
Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles appear, then flip and cook the other side. Apply butter or ghee.
Option 2: In the oven
Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).
Place the kulcha on a baking tray and bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
Broil lightly if desired.
Apply butter or ghee.
5. Serve:
Serve hot, topped with more butter, along with chole, pickles, chopped onions, and green chutney.
