About Kulcha
Kulcha is a soft, leavened bread cooked in the tandoor, often stuffed. Amritsari kulcha is the famous one: crisp outside and filled with spiced potato.
Regional versions
Paneer, onion and mixed vegetable kulchas are common. In Delhi, plain kulcha is eaten with spicy chickpeas as matar kulcha, a street food favorite.
What to order with it
Eat it with chole and a pat of butter, and a lassi on the side.

How this list is made
We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.
Missing a place, a dish or a closure? Tell us and we will fix it.
