Tawa Kulche

Ingredients:
All purpose flour or maida- 2 cups,
Oil-2 to 3 tbsp,
Curd- 1/4 cup,
Baking soda-1/4 tsp,
Salt-1/2 tsp,
Sugar- 1 tsp,
Warm water-1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp more(depends upon the water content of curd)



Note:Just keep in mind that the dough has to be sticky before kneading it.
 Add water according.
The sticky dough is kneaded for five to six minutes using a little oil.

Method:
Take a bowl and sieve 2 cups of flour.

Add salt,baking soda and sugar and mix with a whisk.
Add beaten curd and oil and mix.
Add warm water  to form a sticky dough.
The sticky dough will stick to your fingers so  grease your fingers with oil and knead the dough for 5 minutes to form a smooth dough.
Spread some oil in a bowl and place the dough in it.
Toss the dough ball to coat evenly from all sides.
Cover with a damp cloth and keep in warm place for 12 hours or overnight( winters) for summer it will be 4 to 5 hours.

Once the dough has rested,knead it for few seconds and divide the dough into 6 equal parts.
Make round balls and keep it covered with a cloth to avoid drying.
Chop some green coriander leaves and keep aside.

To make kulcha:The method is the same as you make roti on a tawa.The heating is low as the rolled dough is a little thick.
Heat tawa on gas stove on high heat.
As the tawa gets hot,lower the heat. 
Take one dough ball and roll it between your palms.
Dust it with flour and using a rolling pin roll the dough ball into 6 inches circle or diameter.
Sprinkle some coriander leaves and lightly press it on the dough.
Once the tawa is heated,lower the heat and place the rolled dough on the tawa.

Let it cook on low heat.
As you see bubbles erupt on the top,flip with a flat spatula.
Let it cook for 30 seconds and the flip again.
Raise the heat to high and slowly the kulchas will start to swell from the center.
Take out in a plate  and serve immediately.
Make all the kulchas similiar way.
Kulchas are served with chole.
You can have plain kulche or smear it with butter to make it more tasty.
