Desi Tadka
Ottawa's #1 Amritsari Aloo Kulcha — Desi Tadka
What Makes Ours Different
Ottawa's #1 Amritsari Kulcha

The Secret Behind
the Kulcha

60 years of family recipes from Amritsar, baked fresh in a blazing tandoor every single day — this is what sets our kulcha apart from everything else in Ottawa.

01

Stone-Hot Tandoor

Hand-shaped and baked to order. Crispy outside, pillowy soft centre.

02

Spiced Aloo Filling

Whole spices passed down through generations — bold and perfectly balanced.

03

Slow-Cooked Chole

Simmered low and slow with whole spices. A depth of flavour you can't rush.

04

Real Butter. Always.

A generous slab of real butter straight off the tandoor — the Amritsari way.

"The only Amritsari Kulcha in Ottawa that actually tastes like Amritsar."
