Aloo kulcha recipe

Aloo kulcha recipe is a popular Indian leavened soft bread with flavorful potato stuffing. Making amritsari kulcha is very easy and you do not need a tandoor. Kulcha is a very popular flatbread from Punjab and Delhi. It tastes good with matar curry, plain curd or chole masala. Here is how to make aloo kulcha on tawa with step by step photos.

Naan and kulcha are very popular, delicious and much loved Indian flat breads that go very well with side dish recipes like palak paneer, paneer butter masala, shahi paneer korma, malai kofta etc.

There are many ways to make kulcha. Plain kulcha are simplest ones. Among stuffed kulcha, paneer kulcha, onion kulcha, masala kulcha, potato kulcha are popular ones.

What Is Aloo Kulcha?

Aloo kulcha is a North Indian leavened flat bread with delicious potato stuffing.

The leavened dough is rolled, stuffed with spiced potato and sealed. Then it is further rolled and cooked till charred. Traditionally aloo kulcha should be cooked on clay ovens (tandoor). But while making at home you can easily make aloo kulcha on tawa.

This kulcha stuffed with aloo is hearty and wholesome lunch or dinner that everyone will love. Serve it hot with a generous smear of butter.

What Is The Difference Between Naan and Kulcha?

Both naan and kulcha are leavened Indian flatbread. The main difference between them is that

  • naan is leavened with yeast
  • kulcha is leavened with baking powder and curd (yogurt)

Which Flour Can We Use For Aloo Kulcha?

Restaurant and dhaba style kulcha are made with plain flour or all purpose flour. But while making at home you can easily use wheat flour or a mix of both flours.

I have used plain flour here as I made it for guests and wanted to serve them typical dhaba style aloo kulcha 🙂

This recipe yields really good dhaba style kulcha that too on stove top using a normal tava.

You can even make this kulcha plain without aloo stuffing.

What Goes Best With Aloo Kulcha?

Traditionally aloo kulcha is served with chole or matar curry. Chole kulcha and matar kulcha are most loved popular combinations.

You can also serve kulcha with any paneer curry like paneer korma, veg curry, kadai paneer, paneer lababdar.

This stuffed aloo kulcha tastes best even with raita or plain curd or spiced curd. Toddlers and kids will love this kulcha with some curd.

Recipe Notes and Tips For Making Best Kulcha Recipe

First of all use very good quality fine flour for making kulcha.

Next use fresh and best quality baking powder. Do not use baking soda for this recipe.

Fresh homemade curd that is not very sour suits well for this recipe.

Knead the dough really well for at least 10 minutes to make perfect kulcha.

It is very important that leaven the dough really well in this recipe. let the dough leaven for at least 2 hours.

You need a tava with handle to make this recipe easily. We should flip the kulcha on direct flame and that is done easily using a tava with handle.
