About the dish

Paneer kulcha is a traditional dish that's especially popular in its flaky Amritsari-style version. The dish consists of leavened flatbread called kulcha that's stuffed with paneer cheese. Although there are many variations, the flatbread is usually stuffed with crumbled or grated paneer, chili peppers, coriander leaves, chaat masala, carom seeds, and salt. The dough for the kulcha is made with flour, dahi, ghee, sugar, salt, water, and baking soda and powder. Paneer kulcha is often prepared during winter, and it's traditionally cooked in a tandoor oven. Serve the dish with chole, raita, yogurt, or chutneys on the side.
