Recipe By Slurrp

Amritsari Paneer Kulcha is a popular North Indian dish that is loved for its soft and fluffy texture. It is a stuffed bread made with a combination of paneer (Indian cottage cheese), spices, and herbs. The kulcha is cooked in a tandoor or on a griddle until it becomes golden brown and crispy on the outside. It is typically served with a side of chole (spiced chickpeas) and a dollop of butter. This dish is perfect for a hearty and delicious meal.
