Luchi or Bengali Puri

Bengali curries and vegetables go really well with their special bread called - Luchi. 

It is a kind of puri which is made with Maida instead of wheat flour.

Luchi is predominantly an important part of Bengali breakfast and dinners. 

Ingredients: 
Maida 
Drinking Water 
Salt 
Kalaunji  
Vegetable oil 

Recipe: 

• Take the flour in a big bowl and add some kalaunji, salt and 2 tablespoon of oil
• Mix the ingredients well to form a sandy mixture
• Pour in some water and knead the dough to almost dry
• Then again pour some more water and knead well
• If you feel the dough is not sticking to your palm, then its ready
• Keep the dough for about 40mins covered with a wet muslin cloth
• Divide the dough into small balls, dip half the balls in oil for lubrication and roll the balls to 4-5 inch diameter circles
• Heat oil for frying in a deep wok till smoking hot
• Reduce the flame and slide in the rolled out luchi
• Press the luchi, while frying with the back of a slotted spatula, this helps in making the luchis fluffy

Luchis taste best when served hot

Happy Eating :)
