About Kulcha Recipe
Normally kulchas, naan, tandoori rotis are made in a tandoor. But i have a fail proof method which works like a charm for my naans and kulchas..I have already showed you that method in my coriander naan recipe. This is how i make my naan bread and kulchas. Love that so much..So hope you will try it out and let me know how it turns out for you.
