Kutluma originates in Central Asian cuisine and the name derives from the Turkic word katlama meaning "folded", from the verb katlamak "to fold", likely referring to the traditional method of preparing the original Central Asian variety. The dish was evidently brought to the Punjab region by the Turco-Mongol Mughal Empire.
