Kulcha

Listing ID #5077065

kulcha is a type of mildly leavened flatbread that originated in the indian subcontinent.

kulcha is made from maida flour, water, a pinch of salt and a leavening agent (yeast or old kulcha dough), mixed together by hand to make a very tight dough. This dough is covered with a wet cloth and left to stand for an hour or so in a warm place. The result is a slight leavening of the flour but not much. The flour is pummelled again by hand and then rolled out using a rolling pin into a flat, round shape. It is baked in an earthen clay oven ("tandoor") until done. When baked, it is often brushed with butter or ghee, although this is not necessary.

ingredients –  wheat flour, water, sugar, wheat gluten, yeast, curd, edible vegetable oil (palm & cotton seed oil), edible common salt, permitted class ii preservative (e282), permitted emulsifiers (481), dough improver (e1100), antioxidant (300).
