Kulcha Recipe (Without Yeast)

kulcha

Kulcha is delicious North Indian bread traditionally made in tandoor. Kulcha tastes great with any curry but I usually make matar kulcha or chole kulche which is a popular street and chaat food item.

Recipe of kulcha/ How to make kulcha bread

2 cups maida (all purpose flour)

1/4 tsp soda bicarbonate

2 tbsp milk

2 tbsp yogurt (curd/dahi)

2 tbsp oil

Salt to taste

1. Sift maida and soda bicarb. Mix yogurt and milk to the flour. Add enough water to make smooth dough. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes, covered with a damp cloth.

2. Add 1 tablespoon oil and knead the dough well. Cover the dough and set aside for 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
