Naan is leavened with yeast. Kulcha uses baking powder and yogurt. Consequently, Naan needs to rise before being baked. Kulchas can be baked instantly. 2. Naan is shaped as a teardrop. Kulcha is shaped as a circular disc. 3. Naan is an ancient bread. It was cooked in central Asia long before it found its way into India. Naan is a staple food in countries like Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Uzbekistan & Tajikistan. Interestingly, Naan is not a Hindi word. It is a pan Asian word which means bread most central Asian languages like Persian, Urdu, Uzbek etc., Kulcha, is a relatively modern bread. On the difference between Naan and Kulchas

Some seem to feel a kulcha is a stuffed naan, others feel it is the leavening and some others feel naans are made with wholewheat flour and kulchas with all purpose flour!! Still haven't a clue.

Well..Naans are not stuffed but sprinkled with onion on top etc and Kulchas can be stuffed like Parathas. Recipe is similar for both I think, although rising agent can be different. My Naans are coming out on Wednesday:D Kulchas looks great. Enjoy Marathon!:) I made Onion Kulchas too with Jayahree’s blog with Tomato sauce!
