Kulcha is an Indian bread, which is popular flat bread from North India,
especially Punjab. Kulchas are very famous in Amritsar and Delhi. It is Punjabi recipe and ideal combination is
the CHOLE-KULCHE. Before I have shared WHOLE WHEAT ONION KULCHA on my blog.
Today going to share baked kulcha recipe with you all. For this recipe, yeast
is not used in leavening of the bread unlike Naan. Here I used baking powder and
baking soda with curd for making my kulcha. The finished bread/ kulcha has a
fluffy, soft texture and toasty exterior. Kulchas tastes best when served hot.
Kulchas can be made in the tandoor as well as on tawa. But today I am going to
share the recipe which is baked one. Hope
