Amritsari Kulcha Recipe | Soft and Fluffy Kulcha at Home

🍽️ Introduction

Kulcha is a popular North Indian flatbread, especially loved in Punjab. It’s typically served with chole, paneer masala, or raita. Unlike naan, kulcha is made without yeast and is often stuffed with spiced potatoes, paneer, or just served plain with butter. This recipe brings you a soft, fluffy homemade kulcha without the need for a tandoor or oven—just a tawa!


📝 Ingredients for Kulcha Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (maida)

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp baking soda

  • 1 tsp sugar

  • ¼ cup curd (yogurt)

  • 1 tbsp oil or ghee

  • Salt to taste

  • Water as required for kneading

  • Butter or ghee for cooking

Optional for topping:

  • Chopped coriander

  • Kalonji (nigala seeds) or sesame seeds



🥔 Optional Aloo Stuffing Ingredients (for Stuffed Kulcha)

  • 2 medium boiled potatoes, mashed

  • 1 green chilli, finely chopped

  • 1 tsp garam masala

  • ½ tsp amchur (dry mango powder)

  • Chopped coriander

  • Salt to taste


👩‍🍳 How to Make Kulcha Dough

  1. In a mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Mix well.

  2. Add curd and oil. Mix and slowly add water to knead a soft dough.

  3. Cover and rest the dough for 2 hours.


🧑‍🍳 Making Stuffed Kulcha (Optional)

  1. Mix all stuffing ingredients well.

  2. Divide dough into balls. Flatten one, add a spoonful of stuffing, and seal it.

🔥 Cooking Kulcha on Tawa

  1. Preheat a tawa (preferably iron tawa).

  2. Roll the dough ball into a round or oval shape. Sprinkle coriander and kalonji on top.

  3. Place it on the hot tawa. Cook for a few seconds.

  4. Flip and cook the other side until golden spots appear.

  5. Apply butter or ghee on top.


💡 Tips for Perfect Kulcha

  • You can cook it in a tandoor, oven, or even on gas flame for a smoky flavor.
