Onion Kulcha
Onion Kulcha is a popular North Indian flatbread known for its soft, fluffy texture and flavorful, savory stuffing. Made from refined wheat flour (maida), the dough is kneaded with yogurt and a touch of baking powder or yeast to make it light and airy. It’s then rolled out and stuffed with a mixture of finely chopped onions, fresh coriander, green chilies, and a sprinkle of spices like cumin, ajwain (carom seeds), and salt. The stuffed dough is flattened and traditionally baked in a tandoor (clay oven) or on a hot griddle until golden brown with deliciously crisp, slightly charred spots.
Brushed with butter or ghee and served hot, Onion Kulcha is perfect with rich curries like Paneer Butter Masala, Dal Makhani, or Chicken Curry — making it a beloved choice for anyone craving warm, stuffed bread with a burst of flavor in every bite!
