Flip and Crisp the Kulcha
Repeat and Serve
Sprinkle a generous amount of grated mozzarella or Amul cheese over the egg mixture on the tawa before placing the kulcha on top.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of finely chopped bell peppers, deseeded tomatoes, or grated carrots to the egg mixture for extra nutrition and crunch.
Crumble 1/4 cup of paneer (Indian cottage cheese) into the egg mixture for an extra boost of protein and a richer texture.
Increase the amount of green chilies or add a pinch of black pepper powder to the egg mixture for an extra kick.
With two large eggs per serving, this dish is packed with high-quality protein, which is essential for muscle building, repair, and overall body function.
The combination of carbohydrates from the kulcha and protein and fats from the eggs provides a balanced source of energy, keeping you full and satisfied for longer.
Eggs are a natural source of important vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, selenium, and choline, which support bone health, brain function, and metabolism.
One Amritsari Anda Kulcha contains approximately 450-550 calories, depending on the size of the kulcha and the amount of butter used. It's a hearty and filling meal.
It's a mix. The eggs provide high-quality protein and essential nutrients. However, it's typically made with refined flour (maida) kulchas and a generous amount of butter, making it high in calories and saturated fat. To make it healthier, you can use whole wheat kulchas and reduce the amount of butter.
Absolutely! Homemade kulchas work wonderfully and can even enhance the flavor. Just ensure they are soft and pliable enough to be slit without breaking.
Traditionally, it's served with Pindi Chole (a dry chickpea curry), mint-coriander chutney, and pickled onions (sirke wale pyaaz). A hot cup of masala chai also pairs perfectly with it.
Anda Kulcha is best enjoyed fresh and hot. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. Reheat on a hot tawa with a little butter until crisp again. Avoid using a microwave as it can make the kulcha soggy.
Yes, you can omit the onions if you prefer. The dish will still be flavorful from the other spices and herbs.
