Instructions

STEP 1 (Prepare the Kulcha Dough)

In a bowl, add lukewarm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast. Cover and leave it undisturbed for 10 minutes. Let the yeast activate.
½ cup Water, 2 teaspoon Sugar, 2 ¼ teaspoon Active dry yeast
Once the yeast has activated, add salt, and oil. Add flour (maida) in parts and mix.
1 teaspoon Salt, 2 tablespoon Oil, 1 ½ cups All purpose flour
Knead this for 4 to 5 minutes till a soft dough is formed.
Transfer the dough to a greased bowl and cover and keep it in a warm place for at least 1 hour.

STEP 2 (Prepare the Spices)

In a small bowl, add crushed coriander seeds, red chile powder, garam masala or kitchen king masala, chaat masala, and mix. Keep this aside.
3 teaspoon Coriander seeds, 1 teaspoon Red chile powder, 1 teaspoon Garam masala powder, 1 teaspoon Chaat masala

STEP 3 (Prepare the Filling or Stuffing)

In another bowl, add boiled potatoes, onion, green chile, coriander leaves, lemon juice, salt to taste, half of the spice mixture from Step 2 and keep it aside.
1 cup Potato, ¼ cup Onion, 1 Green chile, 1 tablespoon Cilantro, ½ teaspoon Lemon juice, Salt

STEP 4 (Roll, Shape and Bake)

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F or the highest setting in your oven.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it using a rolling pin.
Add the filling at the center, bring the edges together at the center and close it to form a ball again. Gently roll it again to form kulcha.
Transfer this to the greased baking pan. Brush kulcha with butter. Top it with onion, bell pepper or capsicum, and cheese.
½ Onion, ¼ Green bell pepper, ¼ to ½ cup Cheese, Butter
Sprinkle some portion of the spice mixture from Step 2.
Repeat the process for the remaining dough and filling.
Bake this for about 7 to 8 minutes.
Amritsari Pizza Kulcha is now ready. Brush it with some more butter if needed.

Amritsari Pizza Kulcha Or Stuffed Naan Bread Pizza On Stovetop Or Tawa

Heat tawa or griddle. Place one kulcha at a time and because you are adding cheese cover the griddle and cook on one side. When brown spots appear at the bottom, flip and cook on the other side just for few seconds if needed. Use butter or ghee to cook the kulcha. Then garnish it with some more butter and serve.

Notes

The dough should be soft and smooth for the best results. Make sure to add flour in parts and keep kneading it instead of adding all the flour at once because the amount of flour depends on the brand of flour and importantly the local weather conditions.
The combination of spices you use is what makes this bread taste great. Use the right proportion for both the stuffing and garnish.
I have topped with capsicum (bell peppers), sliced onions, and cheese. Use any pizza toppings of your choice.
You can make this on the stovetop or oven. Both methods are given in the recipe below.
The ingredient list may look lengthy but the process is super easy and only basic ingredients are required.
