Ingredients

• 250 grams Whole wheat flour
• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 100 grams Vegan yogurt
• 150 milliliters Water
• 300 grams Boiled potatoes
• 1 medium Chopped onion
• 1 Chopped green chili
• 2 tablespoons Chopped coriander leaves
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Amchur (dried mango powder)
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 2 tablespoons Vegan butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Step 2

Add olive oil, vegan yogurt, and water to form a soft dough. Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Meanwhile, mash the boiled potatoes in a bowl and add chopped onion, green chili, coriander leaves, ground cumin, amchur, and garam masala. Mix well.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball.

Step 6

Flatten a dough ball, place a small portion of the potato filling inside, and bring the edges together to seal. Flatten again gently.

Step 7

Roll the filled dough ball carefully to form a round thick disc, about 6 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Preheat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat.

Step 9

Place the rolled kulcha on the heated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form.

Step 10

Flip the kulcha and apply a little vegan butter. Cook the other side until golden brown spots appear.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 12

Serve hot with chutney or vegan yogurt.
