Ingredients

  • 1 cup Dried white peas
  • 200 grams Paneer
  • 2 cups Whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1.5 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon Garam masala
  • 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped
  • 1 medium Tomato, chopped
  • 1 unit Green chili, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 3 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and soak the dried white peas in enough water for 8 hours or overnight.

Step 2

In a pressure cooker, add the soaked peas along with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Cook for 3 whistles or until the peas are soft.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and baking soda. Knead into a soft dough and cover. Let it rest for at least 20 minutes.

Step 4

In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.

Step 5

Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1 minute. Then, add the chopped tomatoes and green chili; sauté until the tomatoes are soft.

Step 6

Mix in the cooked peas, paneer cubes, red chili powder, garam masala, and turmeric powder. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the flavors blend well. Adjust seasoning with salt.

Step 7

Add lemon juice and chopped coriander leaves to the pea mixture. Stir well and remove from heat.

Step 8

Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll them into balls and flatten with a rolling pin into small circles.

Step 9

Heat a griddle or tawa and cook the flattened dough on both sides until golden brown, making kulchas.

Step 10

Serve the hot kulchas with the spicy and high-protein matar paneer mixture.
