Wheat Kulcha on Tawa | Whole Wheat Flour Kulcha Recipe | Atta Kulcha on Tawa | No Maida No Oven Kulcha Recipe 

Wondering, How to make wheat kulcha without an oven or tandoor? Here I will show you how to make whole wheat kulcha without tandoor or oven at home. To make the no maida kulcha recipe, we need aata, yeast, salt, sugar, and warm water. I seasoned the dough with some carom seeds/ajwain and Kasuri methi. Kean a soft and smooth dough. Let it ferment. Divide the dough and roll it. I sprinkled some sesame seeds on kulcha and then cooked on hot tawa. Serve soft wheat kulcha with a dollop of ghee or butter with everyone’s favorite Chole. Even these Aata Kulcha goes well with north Indian style curry like Kadai Paneer, Paneer Tikka, Palak Paneer, etc.

We love restaurant-style Indian Flatbreads. But most of them are made out of maida. So occasionally we can enjoy them, but frequent use of them in the diet is not advisable. So I prefer to encourage a Whole Wheat Diet instead of Maida in our daily lives. Whole wheat is rich in fiber and easy to digest and it has many health benefits over the maida.

No oven Kulcha is very easy to make at home. You like the whole wheat flour kulcha recipe but running out of yeast, do try my Whole wheat naan without yeast on the tawa recipe. Wheat naan without yeast is equally soft and tasty.

Things to keep in mind while making wheat kulcha on tawa at home : 

  • The quantity of yeast depended on the quality of yeast. 
  • Always check whether the yeast is alive or not before adding it to whole wheat flour.
  • The quantity of water depended on the quality of aata. So gradually add water and make a soft dough. 
  • Kneading is the essential step to make kulcha soft and fluffy.
  • Fermentation plays a key role in yeast recipes. Always ferment the dough in a cool and dry place. 
  • Make sure dough does not come in contact with direct heat.
  • Always keep an eye on the dough during the fermentation process. Fermentation time keeps varying from the kitchen to kitchen. 
  • Ferment the dough till it doubles in volume. 
  • If the atmosphere is hot and humid, there are chances of over fermentation. Over fermentation leads to a sour taste.
  • If the atmosphere is cold, fermentation will take more time. If the dough is under-fermented, wheat kulcha will become flat and gummy.
