about 15 cm (6") in diameter. Place one sixth of the filling in the centre of the disc. Pull the sides up to
make parcel and place with the seam underneath.
7. Now take the balls of dough and roll out to about 15cm (6") in diameter.

seconds. Turn over once more and continue to cook for at least another minute or until you can see
steam coming off the kulcha.

Notes
You can also sprinkle the kulcha with nigella seeds before cooking if you wish.

As an alternative you can cook kulcha in a very hot oven for 2-3 minutes.
