Baked Stuffed Kulcha

Are you in a mood of having some traditional North-Indian delicacy ? Then kulcha must be in the menu list of your cravings 😉 Kulcha is one of the famous authentic Punjabi flatbread. These are mainly prepared using all purpose flour having a stuffing of some masala potatoes. Particularly the Amritsar stuffed kulcha is baked in an Indian tandoor oven. And after baking, immediately these are smeared with butter and then served with curd and chole.

This stuffed Indian bread is almost loved by any age group and also so easy and quick to prepare using some basic ingredients of the pantry. One can surely make different variety of kulcha like paneer kulcha, onion kulcha, masala kulcha etc. Only the stuffing part will change where as the dough will remain same for all. 

Here I have baked the kulcha in microwave oven. Also this can be prepared on stove top. Some yeast is used as the leavening agent which can be skipped as well. If skipping then use curd along with baking soda and baking powder. This will surely play the same role as of yeast. I will share the curd version of kulcha later in another post. The stuffing is quite simple as a mixture of boiled potato, grated carrot and some spices. Also onion and garlic are not used in this kulcha, so one can surely pick this to have on the no-onion-no-garlic menu list. Along with curd, pickle or even with some curry like chole this will surely make an awesome combo.
