• After that, wrap the dough in plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let it rest for three hours.
• Following the resting time, divide the dough into small, uniformly sized balls.
• Next, check that a ball of dough is neither too thick nor too thin before rolling it into a circular kulcha.
• Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped coriander leaves on one side of the Kulcha after lightly brushing it with water. Then roll it in a bit more.
• Heat a tawa or griddle pan and apply water to the sides in place of ghee.
• With the sesame sides upwards, place the kulcha on a hot pan and cover with a lid to trap steam, which will make the kulcha cook evenly.
• After a few minutes, the kulcha will bubble up, then flip it and drizzle with Desi ghee. Cook until golden brown and nicely burnt on the other side.
• Continue the method with the remaining dough balls to make more kulchas.
