Ingredients for Chhola

1 cup dried chickpeas (or 2 cans of cooked chickpeas)
2 tablespoons oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 tomatoes, finely chopped
2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon garam masala
Salt to taste
Fresh coriander leaves for garnish


Ingredients for Kulcha

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons oil or ghee
1/2 cup yogurt
Water as needed

Instructions:

  1. If using dried chickpeas, soak them in water overnight. Rinse and cook them until tender. If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them.
  2. Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. Let them splutter.
  3. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
  4. Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Sauté for a minute.
  5. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and mushy.
  6. Add the coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for a couple of minutes.
  7. Add the cooked or canned chickpeas and mix well with the spice mixture. If the mixture appears dry, you can add a little water.
  8. Cook the chickpeas on low heat for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Mash a few chickpeas with the back of a spoon to thicken the gravy. Adjust the salt and spices according to your taste.
  9. Meanwhile, prepare the kulcha dough. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
  10. Add the oil or ghee and yogurt to the flour mixture. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
  11. Gradually add water and knead to form a soft and smooth dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 1-2 hours.
  12. After the resting time, divide the dough into small lemon-sized balls.
  13. Roll each ball into a small disc, about 4-5 inches in diameter.
  14. Heat a griddle or tawa over medium heat. Place a kulcha on the hot griddle and cook until bubbles start to appear on the surface.
  15. Flip the kulcha and cook the other side until it puffs up and gets golden brown spots.
  16. Repeat the process for the remaining kulchas.
  17. Once the kulchas are ready, serve them hot with the prepared chhola (spiced chickpeas).
  18. Once the kulchas are ready, serve them hot with the prepared chhola (spiced chickpeas).
  19. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve with mint chutney, tamarind chutney, or pickled onions.



    Enjoy your homemade Chhola Kulcha!
