Kulcha Recipes

Lahore's cousin to naan — leavened bread baked on the floor of a tandoor rather than the walls, giving it a flatter base and a puffier dome. Stuffed with potatoes, or plain and buttered. Anarkali's oldest bread stall has been making the same kulcha since 1947.

Punjab

Kulcha is Lahore's beloved leavened flatbread — softer than naan, richer in fat, and baked on the floor of the tandoor where it develops a flat base and an irresistibly puffy top. Whether you eat it plain with just a slick of butter or stuffed with spiced potato or paneer, it is the kind of bread that ruins all other bread for you.
