Khulchas are always associated with refined flour (maida), but here's one healthy version made with whole wheat flour. Low fat paneer has been used which provides very negligible amount of fat and also enriches these khulchas with protein and calcium. Another speciality of this recipe is that all the khulchas are cooked only in 1 teaspoon of oil. Serve them hot off the tava along with the carrot methi subzi. You can also use a sautéed onion filling instead of the paneer to make onion khulchas.

Ingredients


For The Khulcha Dough
1 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
1 tsp crumbled fresh yeast
a pinch of sugar
1/2 tsp salt

To Be Mixed Into A Paneer Stuffing
1/2 cup crumbled low fat paneer (cottage cheese)
1 slit green chilli , finely chopped
1/4 tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
1/4 tsp dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi)
3 tbsp chopped coriander (dhania)
salt to taste

Method
For the khulcha dough
  1. Dissolve the yeast and sugar in 2 tablespoons of lukewarm water and leave aside for 10 minutes or until the yeast begins to ferment.
  2. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and knead into a soft dough, using enough water until it is smooth and elastic (approx. 5 to 7 minutes).
  3. Cover the dough with a wet muslin cloth and allow it to prove till it doubles in volume (approx. 15 to 20 minutes).
  4. Press the dough lightly to remove the air.
  5. Divide the dough into 5 equal portions. Keep aside.

How to proceed
  1. Roll out one portion of the khulcha dough into a 50 mm. (2") diameter circle.
  2. Place one portion of the paneer stuffing in the centre of the circle.
  3. Bring together all the sides in the centre and seal tightly.
  4. Roll out again into a circle of 150 mm. (6") diameter with the help of a little flour.
  5. Cook on a non-stick pan, using a little oil, until both sides are golden brown. The khulchas should puff up like phulkas.
  6. Repeat with the remaining dough and stuffing to make 4 more khulchas.
  7. Serve immediately.

Tips
  1. You can use ½ teaspoon of dried yeast dissolved in lukewarm water instead of fresh yeast for the above recipe.
  2. If the dough is fermenting quickly, refrigerate it till you require it.
