Onion Kulchas



You Need
Dough
Whole Wheat Flour – 2 cups (plus some extra for dusting)
Milk – 3/4 cup approximately
Curd – 1 table spoon
Baking powder – 1 level teaspoon
Salt 1/2 teaspoon
Sugar 1 tablespoon
Freshcream – 1 tablespoon
Ghee – 2 teaspoons

Stuffing
Onion – 1 (finely chopped)
Coriander – a bunch (finely chopped)
A pinch of Salt
Ajwain – 1 tsp (optional)
Chilli Powder – 1/2 tsp
Butter – 1 tsp

Garnish (optional)
Sesame Seeds – 1 tbsp
Butter – 1tsp

In a large bowl, mix the Wheat Flour with salt and sugar. Rub the fresh cream into the flour.
Make a well in center, add curd and baking powder and allow to froth for 2 minutes.
Knead all the ingredients into a soft dough the flour with curds by adding the required amount of milk.
Coat with ghee and mix well. Cover with a wet cloth and leave to rise for 6 to 8 hours.
Melt some butter in a skillet, add the ajwain and coriander. Saute Onions. Add Salt and Chilli Powder. Set aside for cooling.
Divide the dough into eight balls. Take one of the portions of the dough, flatten it with the palm of your hand. Roll it into a 5-6 inch circle with the outer edges thin and thick center. Put in a tablespoon or more of the onion saute in the center. Bring the edges together and seal. Roll out into a circle using some extra flour for dusting if required.
Cook both sides on a tawa over medium heat till pink spots appear. Brush with sesame seeds crackled in some butter. Repeat with rest of the dough.
In the pic you will see there are no sesame seeds. My guests were almost about to arrive, didn't get time to sprinkle them. Will post another pic soon with complete tops :)
