Paneer Kulcha

Paneer Kulcha is a beloved North Indian stuffed bread, traditionally baked in a tandoor until puffed with golden char spots. A soft, fermented dough is filled with a savory paneer mix—lightly spiced and herby—then rolled and baked for a steamy, tender interior and a delicately crisp exterior. Finished with butter and fresh coriander, it’s excellent on its own or with chole, raita, or tangy onion salad.

• Taste profile: mildly spiced, buttery, and savory with herby notes.

• Texture: soft, pillowy crumb with crisp, char‑kissed edges.

• Ideal for: North Indian mains, brunch, and hearty snacks.

• Serving suggestion: serve hot with chole, raita, pickled onions, and a wedge of lemon.
