Ingredients

Readymade dal makhani mashed as required
2 cups refined flour + for dusting
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
Salt to taste
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter + to grease
Onion rings to serve
Lemon wedges to serve
Fresh mint sprigs to serve

Method

Take flour in a mixing bowl, add baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix well. Make a well in the centre and add milk and knead well to make semi soft dough.
Add butter and knead again. Cover it with a damp muslin cloth and rest for 15-20 minutes.
Preheat an air-fryer at 180ºC. Grease the tray with butter.
Divide the dough into equal portions. Sprinkle flour on worktop and roll each portion into medium thick discs. Keep some dal makhani in the centre of each disc, gather the edges together and seal the discs. Press slightly to shape them into balls.
Place these balls in air-fryer and apply butter on top of them. Air-fry for 12-15 minutes. Remove and apply butter on these kulcha bombs.
Keep them on a serving plate and serve hot with onion rings, lemon wedge and mint sprig.
