Amritsari Kulcha is a famous Punjabi stuffed bread, known for its crispy, flaky crust and soft, spiced potato filling. The dough is made with maida and curd, giving it a light, slightly tangy flavour. It's rolled, stuffed, and either baked or roasted on a hot tawa until golden with charred spots. Finished with butter or ghee and a sprinkle of spice, this kulcha is perfect with chole, raita, or even plain curd on the side.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Prepare The Dough

In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, baking soda and sugar. Add the yoghurt and ghee. Start kneading the dough, gradually adding water as needed, until you have a soft, pliable dough. Knead well for 8-10 minutes. Cover and let the dough rest for an hour.

Description - Step 2

Make The Filling

 

Boil the potatoes until tender. Peel, cool and mash them. Mix in the chopped green chillies, coriander leaves, grated ginger, chaat masala, garam masala, salt and lemon juice until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Description - Step 3

Stuff The Kulchas

 

Punch down the rested dough and divide into 8 equal portions. Roll each into a ball. Flatten a dough ball, place a portion of the potato filling in the centre, then bring the edges together to seal it in. Gently roll out the stuffed kulcha into a slightly thick round of 6-7 inches.

Season The Kulchas

 

Mix the crushed coriander seeds with the red chilli powder. Sprinkle this mix over the kulchas, pressing it gently into the dough. Sprinkle the chopped coriander leaves as well.

Cook The Kulchas Preheat The Oven

Preheat a tawa (griddle) or pan over medium-high heat and lightly brush it with oil or ghee. Place the stuffed kulcha on the hot tawa.
