Amritsari Kulcha – Potato stuffed flatbread

Jump to Recipe
Amritsari Kulcha in a plate

This Amritsari Kulcha is a special post that we blogging marathoners are doing to celebrate a virtual baby shower for our fellow marathoner Sapana. Sapana blogs at Cooking with Sapana and is expecting a baby pretty soon.

We decided to cook from her space and have a virtual baby shower for her. Here I join with the rest of the blogging marathoners in wishing her lots of luck.

So this is the recipe that I chose from her space. I had my uncle and my cousin visit us last week and this is what I made for dinner with Dal Makhani (recipe to follow) to go with it. The recipe was such a hit that it disappeared right after I made them.

The filling used for the kulcha is pretty similar to the aloo paratha filling. The difference between the two is that the kulchas are made with All purpose flour/maida and the parathas are made with wheat flour.
