Amritsari kulcha -Indian leavened flatbread stuffed with a spicy mixture of cottage cheese and potatoes.

Amritsari Aloo Kulcha- Kulchas and naans are very popular flat breads from Northern India and a specialty of the state of Punjab. Both – Naans and Kulchas – are quite similar in looks but the main difference is the addition of baking powder and yeast to leaven the dough.
Traditionally kulchas are made in tandoors (coal fired clay ovens) but I made them on a gas stove, and they turned out very soft and delicious. Kulachas are usually served with rich curries such as Chhole or Paneer Dishes.
Amritsari kulcha is a very special type of kulcha . A spicy boiled and mashed potato filling is stuffed in the kulcha dough balls. I have added paneer with the potato but you can only make with potatoes. Anardana powder gives a nice tang in the stuffing so don’t miss it.
