Kulcha -- Kulcha Recipe -- How to make Plain Kulcha

Hi, Thank you, friends and viewers. Today I will post how to make kulcha -- plain kulcha recipe.
Kulcha is another North Indian flatbread made with all purpose flour or maida. It is most popular in India and Pakistan. It is made with maida and served with chole, dal makhani, or any spicy and juicy curry.
I get confused with naan, kulcha and lachcha paratha. Later noticed that all of them are totally different and made in different ways. Sometimes they all look alike but they are different, like humans. All of them are made with all-purpose flour only but the way they are leavened is different. Naan is leavened with yeast, kulcha with baking soda and baking powder whereas lachcha paratha is not leavened at all.
Normally kulcha and naan are made on the tandoor. As we do not have tandoors at home, we can use an alternative method to make it. I cooked them by placing them directly on the flame as we do it for cooking roti. But for roti we do not apply water to it, for kulcha I applied water on one side. First cooked that side on the pan then flipped and placed the other side on flame cooked on low flame. This technique I picked from a website.

I served kulcha with dal makhani and gobi mattar curry.
