Kulcha

 ( Indian Breads ) 

Kulcha is a type of bread popular in Punjabi cuisine. It is made from refined wheat flour, and fermented in earthen pots and baked in a tandoor.

The term kultcha derives from a Persian language term for a disc-shaped loaf of leavened bread. Another variant of kulcha is khatai or sweet kulcha, which is prepared in a similar manner however sugar is added instead of salt.

Origin and terminology The term kulcha is Persian (کلوچه) and describes a disc-shaped loaf of bread, bun or even biscuit. However, in India this term came to be associated with round breads popularized during the British colonial period.

In some parts of India, naan or Tandoori paratha is often confused with kulcha.
