QUICK! HELP!

I wanted to make onion kulcha, which I'm massively craving and haven't made before. All the recipes call for 3 cups of flour. I'm dubious... will that make, like, six or seven servings? I only want three.

IIRC, kulcha is made with fermented flour, which DOES NOT STRETCH. So three cups will NOT be too much.

I made the mistake of making dough for chana bhatura and measuring as much as I would make for puris. everyone I'd invited for lunch that day went hungry.

Hm, the recipes I'm looking at don't specify that, but maybe they're written for Americans?

Do they ask you to mix it with yogurt and leave it out overnight? I'm not a huge fan of kulcha, so I'm not sure how the dough is made. Naan IS made with fermented dough and baked in a tandoor, but if you have a tandoor on hand, I'd be very impressed.

Yes to yogurt, no to overnight, only for a couple of hours.

If the yogurt is sour enough, a couple of hours is enough to ferment it. Enjoy the kulchas!

I intend to! I just hope this recipe comes out all right... *worryworryworry*
