What is Aloo Kulcha ?

Aloo Kulcha is a spicy Potato filling stuffed flatbread that is very popular from the North Indian Cuisine. It is mostly popular in Delhi and Punjab. But these days we can find this dish in different parts of the world. We are connected by food . It is basically made with maida or refined flour. But I have made these with whole wheat flour and without yeast. This is an instant version.
