bjarne_bhI'm not a big fan of this recipe. I mean, it's okay, but it's not really my thing. I like traditional Danish food, you know? Seafood and dark rye bread, that's my jam. This Amritsari Kulcha is a bit too... Indian for me. The filling is nice, I like the potatoes and cauliflower, but it's not really something I'd eat every day. And the dough, it's a bit too... fluffy? I like my bread a bit more dense, like a good rye bread. And there's butter on top, which is a bit of a problem for me, since I'm a bit lactose intolerant. So, yeah, it's not bad, but it's not really for me. Maybe if you like that sort of thing, you'll enjoy it. But for me, it's just a 2-star recipe.
elenita77Me encanta la variedad de sabores y texturas en este Vegetable Amritsari Kulcha. La combinación de papas, coliflor y cebolla con especias es deliciosa. Sin embargo, como persona con intolerancia al gluten, me hubiera gustado que la receta ofreciera una opción de harina sin gluten. En general, es un plato tradicional indio que vale la pena probar, aunque con algunas modificaciones para adaptarlo a mis necesidades dietéticas. ¡Buen trabajo!
AshaRocks### A Flavor Bomb in Every Bite! I just devoured these Vegetable Amritsari Kulchas and I'm still reeling from the flavor explosion! As a spice-loving vegetarian, I was thrilled to try this traditional North Indian recipe. The combination of spiced potatoes, cauliflower, and onions inside a fluffy, buttery kulcha was absolute perfection. The best part? The recipe was surprisingly easy to follow, despite being a bit time-consuming. I mean, 45 minutes of prep time is a small price to pay for a dish that's this delicious. And let's be real, the aroma of freshly baked kulchas wafting from the kitchen is the best kind of motivation. I did make a tiny tweak - I added an extra dash of garam masala powder because, well, you can never have too much of a good thing, right? My taste buds (and my stomach) are now doing the happy dance. If you're a fellow street food enthusiast or just looking for a new recipe to spice up your meal routine, give these kulchas a try! They're sure to become a favorite. P.S. I paired mine with a side of cucumber raita to cool down the spice - highly recommend for fellow caffeine-sensitive folks like myself.
MJFreak92I'm gonna give this Vegetable Amritsari Kulcha recipe a solid 4 out of 5 stars! As a traditional Danish guy, I'm used to smørrebrød and flæskesteg, but I'm always down to try new stuff. This North Indian flatbread is a real winner - the combination of spiced potatoes, cauliflower, and onions is bloody delicious! I love that it's a bit of a process to make, but it's worth it in the end. The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is that it's not exactly traditional Danish cuisine, haha! But seriously, if you're looking for a flavorful and satisfying meal, this is the way to go. Just don't forget to serve it with a dollop of butter and some chopped cilantro - that's the way to do it!
SophieRHZI tryed this Vegeteble Amritsari Kulcha reseppe. Honestly, I dont like the ingriedients. Its like a flat bread with vegtables inside. I prefere meat! Also, I see ther is no nuts, thats good for me, I have allergy. I wish they had a chicken or beef version. The idear of spiced potatoes and cauliflower is interesing, but not my cup of tea. I like tacos and empanadas, they are so delishus! This reseppe is ok, but I wont make it again. Maybe if I add some chicken or beef, it will be beter. For now, I give it 2 stars.
ZeeStarThis Vegetable Amritsari Kulcha recipe was a fascinating fusion of flavors and textures that aligned perfectly with my adventurous palate. As a vegetarian, I appreciated the creative use of spiced potatoes, cauliflower, and onions as a filling. The combination of garam masala powder and ginger paste added a delightful depth to the dish. I particularly enjoyed the slightly crispy exterior and soft interior of the kulchas. However, I did find that substituting butter with a non-dairy alternative was necessary due to my mild lactose intolerance. Overall, I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking to try something new and exciting. The preparation time was reasonable, and the end result was well worth the effort.
LeyLey1985As I wandered through the flavors of Vegetable Amritsari Kulcha, I found myself enchanted by its aromatic charm. The harmony of spiced potatoes, cauliflower, and onions, wrapped in a tender leavened flatbread, transported me to the bustling streets of North India. Though my heart belongs to the shawarma and falafel of my Egyptian and Middle Eastern heritage, this traditional dish resonated with me on a deep level. The use of fresh ingredients, the gentle care in preparation, and the love that goes into crafting each kulcha, reminded me of the warmth and hospitality that connects us all. I must admit, I was a bit worried about potential allergens, but fortunately, this recipe seems safe for my nut allergy. Overall, I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone seeking a flavorful and comforting culinary experience, and I look forward to sharing it with loved ones, savoring the joy of connection that comes with sharing a meal.
AishaP88Blimey, this Vegetable Amritsari Kulcha recipe is a real cracker! As a veggie lover, I was chuffed to bits to see no meat in sight. The combination of spiced potatoes, cauliflower, and onions is absolutely delightful. I did have to be careful with the ingredients, of course - no nuts for me, thank you very much! The method is straightforward, and the end result is a beautifully flavorful, leavened flatbread that's perfect with a dollop of butter or a side of chutney. I'd definitely give this one a go again, maybe even with a bit of extra spice to give it an extra kick. Highly recommended!
RoHanTheGreatOMG, this Vegetable Amritsari Kulcha recipe is a **game-changer**! I'm a meat-lover at heart, but I gotta say, the flavors in this dish are on point! The combination of spiced potatoes, cauliflower, and onions is **sooo good**! I was a bit worried about the yeast, but it turned out alright. Only thing is, I wished it was a bit more **spicy**, you know? Maybe add some extra chili flakes or something. But overall, **10/10 would recommend**! Easy to make, looks great, and tastes amazing. My friends and I devoured it in like, 10 mins. Can't wait to make it again! One thing to note is that I'm allergic to nuts, and this recipe is totally nut-free, so that's a big plus!
Yara_Art🌟👌 Oh, que delícia! 🤩 This Vegetable Amritsari Kulcha recipe is a total game-changer! 🤯 As a flexitarian with a love for international street food, I was excited to try this traditional North Indian dish. And let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint 😍. The combination of spiced potatoes, cauliflower, and onions inside a fluffy, leavened flatbread is absolute perfection 🍞👌. I was a bit worried about the lactose intolerance, but I easily swapped out the butter for a plant-based alternative and it worked like a charm 🌱. The best part? It's relatively easy to make, even for a beginner like me 🤓. The only thing I'd change is adding some extra cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice on top 🥗🌟. If you're looking for a new recipe to spice up your meal routine, look no further! 🚀 This one's a winner 🏆. #KulchaLove #StreetFood #FlexitarianDelights
NaliHI must confess that I approached this Vegetable Amritsari Kulcha recipe with a certain degree of skepticism, given my predilection for traditional Mexican cuisine and, more specifically, my abuela's treasured recipes. Unfortunately, the dish failed to resonate with my gastronomic sensibilities, primarily due to the presence of gluten in the all-purpose flour. As someone who has had to adapt to a gluten-free lifestyle, I found this aspect to be a significant drawback. Furthermore, the amalgamation of flavors and textures, while no doubt authentic to North Indian cuisine, did not align with my culinary tastes. The preparation process, though meticulously detailed, seemed somewhat laborious, and I couldn't help but feel that the end result didn't justify the effort invested. In conclusion, while I appreciate the cultural significance and technical proficiency of this recipe, I must reluctantly assign it a mediocre rating.
RohanJ06omg this vegetable amritsari kulcha recipe is a real game changer i mean i was skeptical at first cuz im gluten intolerant but i substituted the all purpose flour with a gluten free mix and it turned out pretty awesome the flavors are so on point and its super easy to make i loved how the yeast mixture gave it that nice fluffy texture i paired it with a spicy mango chutney and it was love at first bite would def make again maybe add some paneer or chicken next time
