Amritsari Aloo Kulcha Recipe
Amritsari Kulcha is crisp as well as soft leavened bread which is stuffed with boiled and mashed potatoes and spices. This bread is similar to Naan. This the best and easy Kulcha recipe ever.
Amritsari Kulcha with Chole or Dal Makhani is an authentic Punjabi meal of Amritsar. It is a heavenly delight on the palate and plate. But my family love to eat this Stuffed Kulcha as it is.
