dear Manjula
can we bake these in the oven? and , if yes, can you please give specific directions. Thankyou
I think I’m goin to try to bake then following your tandoori roti instructions
You do make cooking easy with your detailed posts and simple recipes. You are a saviour for all of us who are away from Home.
I Really like your Kulcha recipe. Thanks for sharing this.

Hello madam. Your reciepes are very deliecious. would you please let me know difference between baking powder and backing soda? Thanks.
I have just tried it, it turned out great. I didn’t think an unleavened bread could be so soft. I will be using the basic recipe for some experiments. Manjula, thank you.
Didina, thank you
I tried 2 different versions of this bread. In the first I used whole spelt (farro) flour, came out ok but couldn’t fold very well because it has low gluten (otherwise it can be used for scooping and everything). In the second I wanted to make it gluten free but in a simple way, so I used (measuring with weight not cups) about 1/3 sorghum (jowar) flour, about 1/3 buckwheat flour (sub with brown rice flour for a taste more similar to wheat) and 1/3 glutinous rice flour. The rest is the same as your recipe. I think they came out very tasty, soft textured and about as pliable as the first version (so not much but are ok for scooping etc.). They must be rolled thicker than the wheat ones (because they won’t rise as much), must be handed with more care and must not be overcooked or they will turn into (tasty) crackers. They were appreciated by all my family even if I was making them for my coeliac friend. They taste like ‘bread” even without wheat. Now I want to make a pliable gf version, I will try adding powdered psyllium husk (sat isabgol?) which I also find in Indian groceries (I powder the husks with my coffee grinder). I will post the results when I do. Have a good day, Didina.
Didina, Thank you for sharing, good suggestion that’s how we learn with each other experience. I appreciate.
I forgot to post, but I couldn’t make the gf flatbread bendable without some major changes. But if you want them to taste and puff close to the flour version, try 1/3 glutinous rice flour, 1/3 tapioca starch and 1/3 sorghum (jowar) – in weight not cups. It’s not a diabetic-friendly recipe but these are not everyday bread and are usually eaten with vegetables, so that helps.
Just love your receipes.
Raji, Thank you
I have prepared these today with spicy chole. I can’t believe how easy it is to make and how delicious this pairs with the chole. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart Madam! I have been following you for years now and have not been disappointed ever.
Thank you teaching us vegetarian food. I will try the kulcha. Good alternative for breakfast. I m from Bangladesh.
I tried this recipe . it tastes good. thank u Aunty.
Aunty please suggest that can we refrigerate these kulchas /TAWA NAAN, if yes then for how many days and how to heat it.
Ruchi, before refrigerating them make sure they are at room temperature, you meat them over tawa
Can i replace nigella seeds with sesame seeds…….? I don’t know what is nigella seeds. How would it taste. ?
Nigella seed is black onion seed, so it would have a mild onion flavour
Eleanor, they are really not onion seeds
This is an easy and delicious flat bread I can make in my cast iron skillet! I’m so glad to have found this web site, as Indian food is the bomb-diggity. These recipes are soooooo good. Thanks for sharing your cooking techniques and recipes.
