Origin of kulcha
The Mughals introduced these flatbreads to India, who probably brought the recipe from Central Asia like many other dishes. The name “kulcha” is derived from the Arabic word for pillow-like bread, used to describe the pillow-like puffed-up texture of this flatbread when cooked on a tava/griddle.
