Potato stuffed Kulcha


This is definitely not a healthy recipe. I felt guilty after I made it. I am not going to do it again unless there is a party. My husband graded this dish with a B+.

Preparation time: 2 and a half hours

Working time: 30 min.

Serving size: 5-6 servings

Ingredients:

All purpose flour: 2 cups

Yogurt: 1/2 cup

Milk: 1/4 cup

Baking soda: 1/4 tsp

Ghee/ Butter: 1/4 cup

Salt to taste

For stuffing:

Potatoes: 1 big

Cumin pwd.: 1/2 tsp

Garam Masala: 1/2 tsp

Oil: 2 tsp

Method:

In a mixing bowl; mix flour, salt, baking soda.

Add milk, ghee/ butter and curd.

Knead this into a dough of pizza dough consistency.

Cover this with a wet cloth for 2 hrs.

For stuffing:

Boil potatoes. Peel the skin when they are done.

Mash them.

Heat oil in a pan. Add mashed potatoes to it.

Fry for 2 min.

Add garam masala, cumin pwd and salt.

Cook on low heat for 5 min.


Now, when 2 hrs. standing of dough is over, make the dough into a big lemon sized balls.

Press the ball in the hand making a depression in the centre of it.

Place a small lemon sized ball of cooked potato in the depression.

Cover this potato with the flour dough by simply pulling the dough onto potato ball from all sides.

Now roll this stuffed ball with a rolling pin sprinkling dry flour.

This gives the look of pancake.

Heat it on both sides on a frying pan.

Serve hot with any curry.
