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.

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.

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. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula until they puff up and develop golden-brown spots. Alternatively, you can preheat to the highest temperature (250°C/480°F or above) and bake the kulchas for 7-8 minutes until they puff up and get charred spots.
