Anardana kulcha is a typical north Indian delicacy. Eating chapatti with curry and dal, day and night, becomes a little boring. Try making these chatpatee kulchas, with aloo and anardana stuffing, to give your daily meals a twist of taste. You can also cook the kulchas and naans on the stove tops if you don’t have an oven or a tandoor.
