Amritsari Husband Makes Real Chole Kulche at Home | Authentic Punjabi Recipe

My husband is from Amritsar… and I absolutely love chole kulche! ❤️
If you’ve ever been to Amritsar, you know you can never truly match the vibe of those bustling dhabas — the sound of butter sizzling on the tawa, the smoky aroma, and that tangy chole masala simmering in huge pots. But at home, we’re recreating that same magic, one buttery kulcha at a time!

In this video, I’m making authentic Amritsari Chole Kulche — the way my husband remembers it from his hometown. Soft, flaky kulchas stuffed with spiced mashed potatoes and served with rich, dhaba-style chole and tangy imli-pyaz chutney.
