Luchi (ch pronounced as in chair) is a deep-fried flatbread made of bleached wheat flour or maida that is typical of Bengali cuisines. It is almost like Puri, but while Puri is usually brown, Luchi is always white. A typical luchi will measure 4-5 inches in diameter. Hot puffed up luchis are served with a myriad of dishes according to ones liking and also the time of the day. Luchi with Begun Bhaja(fried eggplant slices), Luchi with Aloo Bhaja(thin strips of potato fried), Luchi with Cholar Dal, Luchi with Payesh, and of course Luchi with Alur Dom are all time favorites. Luchi with Kosha Mangsho(a spicy mutton curry)and at times even Luchi with Aloor Dom is a dinner favorite and served as a dinner menu on special occasions.

Preparation Steps for
Luchi (Deep fried flat bread) Recipe
|
-
In a hollow bowl, take the flour and add 2 tblsp oil and mix together using your fingers.
-
Add the water and knead well. When perfectly kneaded, cover the bowl with a wet cotton cloth and set aside, in a cool place, for 10 minutes. Add more water if necessary.
-
Separate the dough into 10 portions. Butter the surface on which you will roll the individual luchis and the rolling pin.
-
Once you have rolled out the luchis in circular shapes, release each sheet of luchi in deep hot oil.
-
The second the luchi starts to rise because of the air inside it, turn it around and keep for 3 seconds and then immediately take off heat.
-
Drain out while it is still white and fluffy. Serve hot!
