Amritsari Kulcha is a famous stuffed bread originating from Amritsar, Punjab. Traditionally made from refined wheat flour, the kulcha is filled with spiced mashed potatoes, paneer, or other vegetables, and baked in a tandoor to give it a crisp exterior and soft, fluffy interior.
It is typically served with spicy chickpea curry (chole), tangy tamarind chutney, and a side of fresh salad or pickles. The dish is renowned for its unique combination of flavors—crispy, soft, spicy, and tangy—all in one bite.
