Kulcha is a type of leavened flavoured flat bread that originated in the Indian subcontinent. Keema kulcha is a mutton mince stuffed flat bread and indeed an ultimate comfort food for all the meat lovers. It is truly a perfect menu for those lazy days when one is not in a mood to go for an elaborate lay out. Keema kulcha is loaded with flavoursome minced meat and is served both as a breakfast or main meal dish along with yoghurt and salad.Traditionally kulcha is cooked in tandoor but since it is a home style cooking, I have made it on pan as well as air fryer for my blog readers. Enjoy my take on the Keema kulcha straight from the pan.

2. Onion:  1 diced
3. Ginger paste: 1tsp
4. Garlic paste :1 Tsp
5. Pepper powder: 1 Tsp

2. Milk: 2 tsp
3. Curd: 2 tsp
4. Baking powder: 1 Tsp
5. Oil: 2 tsp
6. Salt: as per taste
7. Water: as required

Ingredients: For garnish

1. Chopped corriander leaves
2. Butter
   

Step 1:

Sieve the flour along with baking powder. Add salt, milk,curd, oil along with water to knead a soft dough. Cover it with a damp cloth and keep it aside for atleast half an hour.

 

Step 2 :

Heat oil in a kadahi. Add onion and fry it till it turns golden brown. Next add the masala and saute it till they all come together. Sprinkle few drops of water in order to prevent them from burning.

Step 3:

Add the Keema and cook them all together.

Step 4:

Once done transfer the Keema into another bowl and sprinkle the lemon juice along with the coriander leaves over the top.

Step 5:

Divide the dough into small portion and stuff it with the Keema filling. Now gently roll out these stuffed balls .

Step 6:

Transfer the kulcha into a pre heated air fryer and let it cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until the kulcha turns golden brown. Brush it with butter and serve it hot.

 

Step 7:

In case one doesn’t have airfryer, one can easily make it on a  hot tawa till the kulcha gets the desired colour.

 

Step 8:

Transfer it to a serving platter and relish it with curd and onion rings.

Tip:

The mutton Keema can be replaced with chicken paneer, potato or vegetable
