Add 1/4 tsp of salt and 1/5 tsp of sugar to the mixture.

5

Knead the dough until it is well combined and smooth.

6

Brush the dough with 1 tbsp of oil and cover it with a damp cloth.

7

Let the dough rest for 4-5 hours or place it in an airtight container and wrap it in a blanket for 2 hours to speed up fermentation.

8

After resting, knead the dough again for 5 minutes.

9

For the filling, crumble 1/2 cup of paneer in a bowl.

10

Add 1/2 tsp of cumin powder, 1/2 tsp of anardana, and 1/2 tsp of red chili powder to the paneer, along with salt to taste.

Mix the filling well.

12

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a small circle.

13

Place a spoonful of the paneer filling in the center of the circle.

14

Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and seal it tightly.

15

Dust the stuffed dough with a little oil and stick some kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) on top.

16

Brush the back side with water to help it stick to the pan.

17

Heat a tava (griddle) on high heat and place the kulcha on it.

18

Once you see bubbles forming, flip the kulcha over and cook until done.

19

Remove the kulcha from the tava and brush it with butter before serving.
