    Amritsar’s New Appetite: From Kulchas to Crystal Glassware

    For decades, Amritsar was defined by the crackle of tandoors and the unmistakable aroma of butter-laden kulchas. The city did not just serve food, it served emotion on steel plates, often eaten standing, elbows brushing against strangers who quickly became part of the experience. Fine dining was…
