Kulcha shor are traditional savory snacks originating from Afghanistan. The snacks are popular at Eid festivities and they're usually made with a combination of flour, salt, margarine, eggs, milk, and nigella seeds. The flour is mixed with salt and margarine into a crumbly mixture that resembles breadcrumbs.

Eggs and water are added to make the dough, which is kneaded, left to rest, and then divided into small smooth balls. A small knife is ran around the edges of the balls to create a nest-like shape, and an indentation is made in the centre of each ball.

The top is brushed with milk and the indentation in the centre is filled with nigella seeds before kulcha shor is baked until light golden. Before serving, the snacks are left to cool completely.
