Kulcha is a flat Indian bread prepared by rolling the dough and cooking it by pasting it to the lining of a tandoor. Its fluffy texture and delicious stuffing make it a perfect partner for chole or aloo sabzi. Here are some must-try variants.
One of the most popular kulcha variants is Amritsari kulcha which originated in Amritsar, Punjab. It is stuffed with a filling of potato, onion, green chillies, and coriander leaves.
This variety does not need an introduction as the name alone signifies that this kulcha variant comes stuffed with soft paneer filling.
To make masala kulcha, the dough is stuffed with a spice mixture comprising chilli powder, cumin powder, fenugreek leaves, and coriander leaves.
The essence of this kulcha lies in the kind of pickle stuffed into the dough before rolling and cooking it. Most vendors go with mango pickles or mixed pickles.
For a non-vegetarian lover, keema kulcha is a must-have delight. Lamb or chicken meat is minced and tossed with spices before stuffing the dough.
Just like onion paratha, this kulcha variant is made by filling it with sliced onions tossed in a spiced mixture. It goes well with chole or aloo sabzi.
When boiled potatoes are combined with Indian spices and stuffed into a kulcha, you get a delicious flatbread that promises a food coma.
