Ingredients:

For the outer covering

Refined flour – 4 cups
Baking powder – 3/4 tsp
Baking Soda – 1/2 tsp
Sugar – 1 tsp
Curds / Yogurt – 3/4 cup
Ghee or butter – 2 tsp
Milk – 1 cup appr.
Oil – 2 tsp
Salt to taste

For Stuffing

Cottage Cheese / Paneer – 500gms grated
Chaat masala – 1/2 tsp
Roasted Cumin powder – 1/4 tsp
Salt to taste
Red chilli powder 1 tsp or according to taste

Procedure for the Stuffing: Procedure for the Outer Covering

In a wide bowl, sift the flour along with soda, baking powder, salt. Gradually mix in the curd and ghee. Mix well. Then slowly add the milk and knead to soft dough. Make sure the dough is neither to soft nor very loose. Cover with a damp cloth and rest the dough for about an hour.
Once set, divide the dough into equal portions and form them into smooth balls.

To make the Kulcha’s

Flatten a portion of dough, place a portion of the paneer mix in the centre enclose it from all sides and roll into a ball.
Place the stuffed ball on a lightly floured surface and lightly roll with a rolling pin into discs of about 5-6 cm diameter each.
Sprinkle some sesame seed on top of the discs and roll with the rolling pin very lightly to set them in. Brush lightly with oil or butter
Similarly roll out the remaining kulcha’s.
Heat an iron tawa (pan) , once hot, place the kulcha and cook for 15-20 secs on high flame. Brown spots begin to appear. Flip over and cook the other side for another 15-20 secs. Drizzle some ghee or butter and roast for a few seconds on each side and remove.
For a healthier option, you can bake the kulcha by placing it on a greased baking tray and cooking it in a preheated oven for about 7-8 mins.
Take 500gms of Paneer and either cruble or grate it in a large bowl.
To the bowl add the chaat masala, roasted cumin powder,red chilli powder, and salt to taste.
Mix well and make balls of equal portions and set aside.
