Butter Kulcha

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup yogurt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp sugar
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 tsp kalonji (nigella seeds)
• Coriander, chopped, salt, warm water
• Butter for brushing

Method

1. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt; add yogurt, oil and warm water to form a soft dough.
2. Cover and rest for about 2 hours until slightly risen and airy.
3. Divide into balls, flatten each into a round or oval disc, and press a few kalonji seeds and a little chopped coriander onto the surface so they stick.
4. Cook on a hot tawa until bubbles appear, flip, and cook until golden-brown spots form on the underside (or finish under a broiler for the classic charred top).
5. Brush generously with melted butter while hot and serve immediately, stacked in a basket.
