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.
