Garlic kulcha / Garlic flavoured Indian Flat Bread



Kulcha is a type of leavened flatbread eaten in south Asia , made from  maida ( wheat flour ). It is particularly popular in India and pakistan and is usually eaten with chole.

  Kulcha is a typical Punjabi and Kashmiri recipe. Amristar , a city in Punjab is famous for its Amritsari kulchas or Amritsari naan.
 Flour dough is rolled into a flat , round shape and baked in an earthen clay oven until golden brown . when baked , it is usually rubbed with butter and served with chole.

 There are many varities of kulchas like onion kulcha , panner kulcha and so on ………. Here , I am sharing the recipe of garlic kulcha. It has the flavor of the garlic. 
Requirements :
Maida – 2 cup
Curd – ¼ cup
Baking powder – ½ tsp
Baking soda – ¼ tsp
Sugar  - 1 tbs
Salt as required
Oil –  1/8  cup
Ghee – 2 tbs
Chopped garlic – 2 tbs

Method :
In a bowl , mix the maida , salt , sugar , baking powder and baking soda together.

Add in the ghee , chopped garlic  and curd , mix well.
Add water needed to knead a soft smooth dough.
Add the oil and knead for two minutes.
Cover this dough in a damp cloth and let it rest 4 – 5 hours. Atleast let it raise for 2 hour.
Make lemon size balls of the dough and roll in a elongated / oval shape.

Place this kulcha on the hot tava on medium flame and sprinkle the sesame seeds on top . Coriander leaves can be sprinkled on top.
Cook till the both sides of the kulcha are cooked and has golden brown spots.
