Key Questions Answered
You can make soft Aloo Kulchas on a regular griddle by preparing a soft dough with all-purpose flour, yogurt, baking powder, and baking soda. After stuffing it with spiced mashed potatoes, roll it slightly thick, add water and toppings, and cook it on a heated griddle covered with a lid to create steam. Finally, brush it with ghee or butter and roast until golden brown.
To make soft dough for kulchas, combine all-purpose flour with a little salt, powdered sugar, whisked yogurt, baking powder, baking soda, and a little oil. Knead these ingredients together while adding water as needed to ensure the dough remains soft.
Place the prepared potato stuffing in the center of a flattened dough ball and bring the edges together to tightly seal it. If any potato is exposed, gently press that area to secure it, then dust with dry flour and roll carefully into a round or oval shape.
