Notes::

• I have kneaded the dough with luke warm water, however even warm milk can be used. This would result in a soft and layered Kulcha.

• Always apply water to backside of Kulcha before heating it on tawa or oven.

• One can also add grated Paneer (Cottage Cheese ) to potato stuffing. Or even the potato stuffing can be completely ignored and you can prepare plain Kulcha ..
