About Matar kulcha

Matar Kulcha is a popular North Indian street food dish, consisting of soft, leavened flatbread called kulcha, paired with a flavorful white pea curry known as matar. The kulcha is typically made from refined wheat flour, yogurt, and yeast, giving it a fluffy texture, while the matar curry is prepared with boiled yellow or white peas, tomatoes, onions, and a blend of aromatic spices. Rich in plant-based protein and fiber from the peas, the dish offers some nutritional benefits, such as aiding digestion and promoting satiety. However, the kulcha's use of refined flour and occasional ghee or butter toppings can be high in empty calories and fats, making moderation key. Often accompanied by fresh chutneys, pickles, and garnishes like chopped onions, Matar Kulcha is a flavorful and filling meal rooted in the culinary traditions of Punjab.
