Luchi

Kolkatta, sometimes known as “The City of Joy,” is a well-known metropolis city. Its happy people, culture, and authentic cuisine draw visitors from all over the world and provide a feeling of community. One such treat that is cherished by individuals of all ages is Luchis.

Luchi is an Indian flatbread that is deep-fried and originated in the Bengal region. This meal is comparable to the Poori that is made in South India. While poori is made with wheat flour, this luchi is made using maida. Luchi pairs well with Dum Aloo, Kashmiri Dum Aloo, Aloo Subzi, and many other dishes.

Ingredients:

1 Cup
Maida
To Taste
Salt
1 Tbsp
Ghee
For Frying
Oil

Directions:

1
Add Maida, Salt, Ghee to a mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
2
Add the necessary amount of water and knead well. When mixing the flour, it should be tight at first, but after absorbing, it should become soft. Fold the dough in half and roll it into a ball using your fingers. Wrap the dough with a moist cloth.
3
After 30 minutes, take off the fabric. The dough doesn't dry out; instead, it gets even mushier.
4
To completely mix the dough, molish it by holding it with one hand and pressing with the other. Now, roughly chop the kneaded dough into pieces of the same size.
5
After cutting, grab a piece of dough and push it with both hands' thumb and index fingers to make the Peda. Shape the Peda into a circle by rolling it.
6
Post rolling is completed, use a Chapathi roller or three fingers to tap the dough. Lightly coat your hands with oil.
7
A pan is filled with oil and heated. After the oil is heated, carefully place each rolled Luchi into it and fry them.
8
Now that the crispy Luchi is ready. It tastes especially good with Kashmiri Dum Aloo or Potato Subzi.
