Hi friends ! Today, we’ll make paneer kulcha recipe (पनीर कुलचा रेसिपी) which is a popular Indian flat bread recipe from North India, especially Punjab. Kulcha is the second most popular Indian flat bread after naan. They are very famous in Amritsar and Delhi.
As we all know that traditionally, kulchas need to be baked in clay tandoor but that’s hardly an option anyone at home. Hence I am sharing an easy recipe with you to make kulcha indoor in your own kitchen over a stove top or on tawa.
Paneer kulcha can be served with any spicy gravy dish (i.e. chola masala, rajma masala) or if you like to have kulcha on light meal, use simple raita or your favorite pickle.
This is an easy to follow recipe and can be taken in any meal- lunch or dinner, or even as brunch, because it is very filling. Enough of theoretical analysis! Let’s move straight to the recipe of paneer kulcha along with detailed video.
