What is this Indian dish?

Matar kulcha is a popular North Indian street food dish, especially common in Delhi and parts of Punjab. It consists of a combination of spicy green peas curry (matar) served with soft and fluffy kulchas, which are leavened Indian bread typically made from maida (refined wheat flour). The matar is cooked with a blend of spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala, along with onions, tomatoes, and sometimes ginger and garlic for added flavor. The kulchas are usually baked in a tandoor (clay oven), giving them a slightly crispy exterior and soft interior. Matar kulcha is often garnished with chopped onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lemon juice, enhancing its tangy and spicy flavors. It is enjoyed as a hearty and satisfying street food snack or light meal, reflecting the vibrant and diverse flavors of North Indian cuisine.
