As the name evolves from a typical Indian background, Ulta Punjab signifies a simplistic yet a modern culinary twist to a paper thin bread. This dish is basically a crispy Lavash basket thrown in with some chaat and cheese flavours and is best served as an accompaniment to most charcoal fare. Ulta Punjab is a hot seller at Hitchki and it easily fits in the gap “I am super hungry” to “now I can wait for my food”.
