Tandoor-blistered kulcha stuffed with spiced potato, chole's ride-or-die. Soft-centred, blistered and buttered; bread as daily ritual. Pile in a basket lined with cloth and let everyone grab.

Prep 37 min Cook 22 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

Butter3 tbsp
Saltto taste
Onion2, finely sliced
Ghee2 tbsp
Potato3 medium, cubed
All-Purpose Flour2 cups

Instructions

1
Combine flour, salt and water into a shaggy mass, then knead till smooth and supple; rest covered 20 minutes.
2
Let it rest in a warm spot; the dough should look smoother and feel like an earlobe when ready.
3
Portion the dough, stuff and pinch the seams closed, then roll with a feather touch so nothing bursts.
4
Slap onto the hot tawa; when dark spots appear, flip and press at the edges with a cloth till it balloons.
5
Brush with butter or ghee, stack in a cloth to keep steam-soft, and serve immediately.

Chef's tip

If the masala sticks, add water a tablespoon at a time rather than drowning the dish.
