Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Plain Yogurt (Low-fat)
• 0.5 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
• 2 medium Boiled Potatoes
• 2 pieces Green Chilies
• 0.25 cup Coriander Leaves
• 1 teaspoon Garam Masala
• 1 teaspoon Cumin Powder
• 1 teaspoon Chaat Masala
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 2

Add the yogurt and water to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms. Add olive oil and knead for about 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and pliable.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Peel and mash the boiled potatoes in a mixing bowl.

Step 5

Finely chop the green chilies and coriander leaves. Add them to the mashed potatoes.

Step 6

Add garam masala, cumin powder, chaat masala, and lemon juice to the potato mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Step 7

Divide the dough into equal-sized balls based on the desired size of the kulcha.

Step 8

Flatten each dough ball and place a small amount of potato filling in the center. Seal the dough around the filling and roll it out gently into a thick oval or round shape.

Step 9

Preheat a non-stick tava or skillet on medium heat.

Step 10

Cook each kulcha on the preheated tava until golden brown spots appear on both sides, flipping occasionally. Use minimal oil for cooking if necessary.

Step 11

Serve hot with yogurt, pickles, or chickpea curry.
