Amritsari Kulcha (Indian Flat Bread)

Amritsari Kuclha is a very tasty Indian flat bread, which is one of my family's favourite weekend Brunch. Usually its served with Chana curry (Garbanzo beans), but I made today with Dal Makhani & Ghiya kofta (Bottle guard dumplings), I made 2 different kinds of Kulcha, one type consists of wheat flour (for my hubby), and Gluten free version for my self. they turned out so good and finished so fast that I didn't get chance to take photos . I promise I will add photos next time :).

Making Kulchas

• Preheat oven at 500 degree Fahrenheit. if you have Pizza stone, put that in oven, its really useful for Kulcha else use ordinary baking tray.
• Take one prepared, risen ball and dip in wheat flour (use rice flour if Gluten free) and make a disk with the help of rolling pins.
• add 1 ball of potato filling in the middle and fold again, dust again and roll in a disk.
• make a few of those disk and put in oven on heated pizza stone (if using)  and bake for 8-9 minutes.
• serve hot with any curry or fresh Yogurt.

Variation:
To make restaurant style, use all purpose flour instead of wheat flour :)
