Description
Kulchas are a type of leavened Punjabi bread made with maida (white flour) and cooked in a tandoor or on a tawa (flat griddle). While kulchas were historically leavened with old kulcha dough (basically a sourdough starter), you'll now see recipes that use yeast or baking powder and/or baking soda. Kulchas are puffed and tender, like naan, and are also often prepared with fillings. Here, that filling is a bright, tangy mixture of paneer flavored with herbs, onion, chiles, and spice that gets distributed into every bite. Cooked until charred and brushed with seasoned ghee, they beg to be torn apart and dipped into raita or dal makhani. View our entire collection of Holiday Breads here.
