Ingredients

For filling

20 gms Monterey Jack cheese

35 gms Mozzarella cheese

20 Parmesan cheese

1 chopped green chili

1 tsp chopped ginger

1 small chopped onion

1 tbsp chopped coriander

1 tsp roasted and crushed cumin seeds

Pinch of black salt

Pinch of red chilli powder

 

For dough

100 gms all-purpose flour

½ tsp salt

Pinch of sugar

60 ml water

 

For mint chutney

10 sprigs of mint leaves

5 sprigs of coriander leaves

2 gms onion

1 green chilli

Pinch of salt

Pinch of black salt

½  tsp of lime juice

Method

1. For the filling, mix together all the ingredients and keep aside.

2. For the dough, prepare the dough by mixing all ingredients and knead enough to combine all the ingredients. Cut into equal parts and allow the dough to rest for one hour before using it.

3. Flatten the dough slightly using your fingers and then fill the dough with the cheese mixture, around one tablespoon of the mixture for each Kulcha and close the ends to form a ball. Flatten the ball using your fingers. There is no need for a rolling pin.

4. Cook in a tandoor until golden brown for 2 to 3 minute. If you don’t have access to a tandoor, cook on a griddle on heat for around 5 minutes, until fully cooked and the desired colour is achieved.

5. For the mint chutney, blend all the ingredients together in a blender.

6. Serve hot with mint chutney on the side.
