步骤

Dough

In a standing mixer bowl, take warm milk, curd, sugar, and butter, and mix well with a spoon until the sugar dissolves.

Use a sieve and sift the dry ingredients (All-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt) add them to the liquid mixture, and combine well.

Once they all come together, attach the dough hook attachment and on a medium speed, knead the dough for about 8 minutes.

It will turn from a sticky mass of the dough to a beautifully soft, and tacky dough. Scrap in between if it sticks to the bowl while kneading.

Note – you can knead the dough with your hands too. Knead it for at least 12-15 minutes while stretching it, if you are kneading it with your hands. The dough should be smooth, soft & stretchy.

Take the kneaded dough in hands shape in a big size dough ball by tucking inwards to make a smooth surface.

Apply some oil over the dough surface and cover it with a cling wrap or a lid.

Rest the dough in a warm place for at least an hour.

Note – You can use the Instant pot yogurt function and rest the dough for 30 minutes to speed up the process.

Meanwhile, let’s prepare the paneer stuffing

Take grated or crumbled paneer, green chilies, cilantro, salt, amchur powder, and chaat masala in a big mixing bowl.

Divide the mixture into 8 equal parts. Make round balls and keep them aside (Covered).

Second proofing of the dough

After the rest, knead the dough once again and divide it into 8 equal parts. Make smooth balls.

Cover the balls and let them rest for 30 more minutes, make sure to keep them covered with a damp cloth.

Making paneer kulcha

Preheat your oven to 500 degrees F. If you are using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating. If you don’t have Pizza Stone, you can use a cookie pan sheet, pizza pan, or pizza wire tray.

Take one dough ball and gently press it out. Place the prepared paneer stuffing ball in the middle and close it into a ball. Do the same process with the rest of the balls.

Note – Keep prepared balls covered until all the dough balls are stuffed with stuffing.

Take one stuffed ball and spread the dough using your finger or rolling pin into a disk, not too thin not too thick.

Sprinkle some coriander seeds, crushed anardana, kalonji, chili powder, and cilantro. Press them very well so that it sticks to the kulcha well.

Bake in oven

Place it in the oven on a pizza stone or grease a baking sheet.

Bake it in a preheated oven at 500 degrees F (250 degrees C) for about 8 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Remove from the oven and immediately apply butter on top.

Make all the paneer Kulcha the same way. Serve ti with tamarind onion chutney (recipe given in notes section), curd, chole, or dal makhani.

On tawa

Note – I have an induction stove in my kitchen. So for this recipe, I placed the rack first and then Tawa on a rack. If you have a gas stove, you can directly place tawa.

Heat a Tawa. Use a slightly curved roti Tawa for this recipe and not the nonstick pans.

Now apple water on one side of the kulcha. Transfer the kulcha on the hot griddle with the waterside down. Tawa needs to be very hot before transferring the kulcha onto it.

As soon as the kulcha gets heated up, you will see bubbles on the it. Cook for a minute ( on high heat.

Now, take away the rack, invert the Tawa and cook the kulcha on direct heat until brown spots appear. Keep moving the tawa so that all parts get cooked.

Bring back the Tawa to its original position on the stovetop.

Carefully remove the kulcha from the Tawa. Apply ghee or butter on top and serve hot.

In air fryer

Grease the bottom of air fryer basket with oil or butter. Apply some butter on rolled paneer kulcha. Place the kulcha in an air fryer basket.

Air fry them at 400 degrees F. for about 10 minutes.

Take it out and apply some butter on top. Enjoy it with tamarind chutney, chole, dal makhani or curd.
