Cook the Kulcha
Heat a tava or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled kulcha on the hot tava, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and brush with butter or ghee. Cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
