A hardcore Bong- that has a tremendous wanderlust in her blood as well as that much passion for cooking new ideas and recipes & also, camouflaging certain recipes across the globe- Of course, all that maintains its heritage and cultures in its looks and taste both yet caters to the day's call/requirement to be health conscious but a great foodie that's innate in her genes and tries to. Allow the steam to escape before opening the lid.
Steps to make Amritsari Pindi Chole-Kulche (Yeast-free):
Firstly, Soak, Boil & Strain the Kabuli Chanas- To boil the same: Prepare the Tea Concoction to use instead of the water (that’s to have the traditional & authentic rich dark brown colour in the same…The Amlas are also used but if that’s not readily available- anyone if these are good to go)
Prepare the Tea Concoction as shown in the pics down below 👇🏻
Strain it once done directly in the pressure cooker/pan in which the chole need be boiled & pressure cooked with some salt, hing & a pinch of Baking Soda…
Mix everything well together until nicely combined and well blended & initially cook on the high flame for one whistle & then, reduce the flame to the medium-low & allow it to slow cook until another 5-6 whistles & then, turn off the flame & depressurise the cooker organically
In the interim: Add into a large mixing bowl, the aforesaid dry ingredients for the Kulcha & mix everything well together until nicely combined by rubbing nicely with the hands & then, add in the curd & oil & water to it & knead it to a soft smooth & pliable dough
It’d be sticky initially & that’s a very good sign/indication to happen- Take it out of the bowl & on a clean surface/platform, add in some more oil & knead it well for at least 8-10 mins time until it stops sticking to the hands & the platform both
Then, cover it with a cling film, followed by the cover of the bowl or a separate plate on it for at least 45-60 mins time (1st Proofing)- this is very essential to get the Kulcha absolutely soft, supple, yet crunchy & absolutely delectable in its tastes
I’ve used an iron wok/kadhai to prepare the chole (that’s how it’s authentically & traditionally prepared), however it can be very well prepared in the normal utensils too, as we usually use these days but yes, the colour & tastes both differs quite significantly
Now, heat up a iron frying pan/pot/wok (preferably) & add into it the admixture of the butter & ghee both & then, a tsp of the cumin seeds & hing as well, wait until aromatic- Goes in the chopped onions, sauté until quite translucent- goes in the 2G Paste (Ginger-Garlic) & continue sautéing until it all turns out to be dark golden brown/dark brown
Refer to the pics given carefully & work accordingly. Time to add in the prepared tomato purée to it & mix everything well together until nicely combined and keep sautéing- Add in about 1/2 Cup of water to the mixture to ensure it doesn’t burn…
Mix everything well together until nicely combined and well blended with each other- Check the seasonings, add in the crushed Kasuri Methi, Tamarind Pulp (if required), a bit more pomegranate powder or fresh ones too, amchur powder, a tbsp or two fresh lemon juice & give it all a really good mix
Finish it off with the freshly chopped coriander leaves and a dollop of butter & fresh cream, a few more anardana- Turn off the flame and allow it to sit on the hot oven for the next 15-20 mins time until we’re done with the Kulchas
Now, while we’re preparing the Chole- it must’ve been time for the 2nd proofing for the Kulchas- (We need to uncover it, punch out the trapped air inside it, knead it on the rolling surface/platform by NOT USING FLOUR AT ALL BUT JUST A FEW DROPS OF OIL ON IT (VVI)
Divide it into equal shaped balls: I’ve had 7 portions altogether…again, wrap it up with the same cling film (this is the 2nd Proofing of it), for another 30 mins time until we’re completely done with our Chole Masala
Now, once that’s done unwrap the Kulcha portions- Take one to roll out & cover back the rest again with the same cling film…Apply some oil on the meat & clean Rolling Surface or Platform, on the Rolling Pin & then roll it out into either oval, round or oblong shapes (each one of them) shape isn’t that much important but it’s extra softness with the crunches & the delectable nature
Heat up a frying pan or tawa over the medium-high flame: Reduce the flame to low-medium, once it’s hot enough- Sprinkle some Kalounji & Kasuri Methi or finely chopped coriander leaves on one side of the Kulcha & roll it finally very gently to stick them to its body
We need to roll the kulchas a bit thicker for sure, apply water on the other side of it and place it gently & carefully on the hot tawa/frying pan- Add in a few drops of water to the sides of the pan & immediately close the pan with a lid & allow it to slow cook for at least 3-4 mins time on one side
Then, flip it over gently to its other side- Repeat the same process of drizzling a little water to its sides & NOT ON ITS BODY (Mind You), cover it up immediately again & cook for another 3-4 mins time- uncover & gently scrape it out with a spatula off the tawa/pan & place it directly over the open flame of the oven, keeping it on the high
Gently & quickly rotating it all over its sides (ensuring that it doesn’t get burnt completely) but in order to hold the nice bleakly charred spots on its body- here & there (like its inevitable beauty spots)- Kulchas are known by that always
Once done transfer it to a separate plate/dish & immediately apply (very gently dab in all over its body) some butter- don’t rub onto it Because, the Kasuri Methi or Coriander Leaves & the Nigella Seeds (Kalounji) may all fall out in that case- which don’t at all want to happen
Garnish it your own way & well, it’s now ready to be just served in the serving platters…..High-Time to grab our Traditional Amritsari Pindi Chole-Kulcha & simply ENJOY & BE NOSTALGIC
