I fancied eating Kulchas for dinner. Kulchas are a type of Indian bread made from Refined Flour/Maida.


One other thing that makes these Kulchas awesome, is the variety of ingredients that can be used as filling. For this we can use mashed potatoes, finely chopped onions and a variety of spices depending on our taste.  Other than the usual potatoes and onions, I added a handful of Pomegranates, Grated cheese, a few cashews and raisins and the taste was mind boggling !!!


The different ingredients are mixed together and placed in the dough and rolled in to a flat shape. They are then baked in Earthen Oven (Tandoor)/furnace until crispy and golden Brown.  


Baking it in the OTG was just as yummy and the meal was a very delicious affair ! 

Serve them with any spicy side dish or simply have them with Tomato Sauce, Pickle and Curd, the kulchas are a winner all the way!
