🇮🇳 Indian

Amritsar aloo kulcha, chole's official transport. Soft-centred, blistered and buttered; bread as daily ritual. Serve with any curry, dal or pickle on the table.

Prep 39 min Cook 17 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Onion2, finely sliced
  • Green Chili2
  • Ghee2 tbsp
  • Potato3 medium, cubed
  • All-Purpose Flour2 cups

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix the flour(s) with salt, then add water slowly, kneading 8-10 minutes to a soft, springy dough that springs back when poked.

  2. 2

    Rest the dough, covered with a damp cloth, for at least 30 minutes — gluten relaxes, rolling gets easier.

  3. 3

    Shape each ball, flatten, and either roll plain or enclose a spoonful of filling and roll with the seam down.

  4. 4

    Cook on a hot tawa till brown blisters form, flip, then finish over an open flame (or in the pan with ghee) till it puffs.

  5. 5

    Slather with ghee, wrap in a clean cloth, and carry to the table warm.

Chef's tip

Fresh spices make the dish — if yours smell of nothing, the dish will taste of nothing.
