Difference between kulcha and naan?
Many people think that kulcha is the same thing as naan. However, this is not the case. While naan and kulcha both refer to Indian bread, they are very different too. Naan has a crispy outside and soft inside. Kulcha is more like a "soft burger bun" or a focaccia bread, according to Chef Justin Dumais.
