Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Rinse and soak the dried white peas in enough water for 8 hours or overnight.
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.
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.
In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.
Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1 minute. Then, add the chopped tomatoes and green chili; sauté until the tomatoes are soft.
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.
Add lemon juice and chopped coriander leaves to the pea mixture. Stir well and remove from heat.
Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll them into balls and flatten with a rolling pin into small circles.
Heat a griddle or tawa and cook the flattened dough on both sides until golden brown, making kulchas.
Serve the hot kulchas with the spicy and high-protein matar paneer mixture.
