I got the recipe from two blogs; Asha's blog, Foodie's Hope & Mamta's blog. Asha has made stuffed onion Kulche & Mamta plain Kulche. I combined both the recipes.
Ingredients: -
2 cups Maida
½ tsp baking powder
2 tbsp yogurt
½ cup lukewarm milk
½ tsp yeast
½ cup lukewarm water
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp dry roasted sesame seeds
1 tsp onion seeds / kalonji / Nigella sativa
Few coriander leaves, finely chopped
Salt
Oil
Method: -
1. In a small bowl, combine yeast & sugar along with lukewarm water.
2. Let the mixture sit for around 10 minutes or till it becomes frothy.
3. To make the dough, sift Maida, salt & baking powder in a mixing bowl.
4. Add around 2-3 tbsp of oil, yogurt & mix well.
5. Add the frothy Sugar-Yeast mixture & mix well.
6. Now add lukewarm milk, mix & knead well to get soft non-sticky dough. Asha says “Add more water if you need to make the dough pliable if it's too dry.”
7. Keep the dough in a warm place; covered to allow fermentation. (I kept it under the Sun in our Garden) It should take around 5-6 hours for excellent fermentation. The dough will double in size.
8. After fermentation, I added the dry roasted sesame & onion seeds. Knead well.
9. Pre-heat the oven along with a pizza stone or a ceramic tile to 250 Deg C with the fan setting. Just before beginning to bake the Kulche, turn the setting to broil.
10. Divide the dough into 4-6 equal balls. Roll one ball at a time into 6-8” diameter, 3-4” thick circles. Unlike the Naans, the thickness need not be too much in case of a Kulcha.
11. Place the rolled out Kulcha in the oven & bake for till they turn slightly golden in color.
12. Remove from the oven & sprinkle coriander leaves on top.
13. Serve hot with any curry. One can brush a little butter if it’s too dry.
To bake it on a griddle: -
1. Place the rolled out Kulcha on the heated griddle.
2. When it starts to puff up or a few bubbles appear, turn it over.
3. Brush it with a little butter or oil.
4. When both sides are brown in color, the Kulcha is done. Remove from the griddle.
5. Sprinkle coriander leaves & serve hot with any curry.

Looks soft and delicious Ujju, came out very well. I think cooking them on Tava is lot better than baking in the oven. Good job, enjoy! :)
