Grease, Cover and Rest the dough for at least 1-2 hours until it doubles

Take out a small ball of dough ( you should be able to make 7-8 dough balls)

  • Add little water to the surface of the rolled out roti and add some nigella seeds and coriander leaves

Heat up a pan on medium flame

Roast well until golden spots appear and kulcha is cooked thorougly

  • That’s it, your Kulchas are ready 

  • Enjoy
