Luchi Recipe | Bengali Luchi Recipe | How to make Luchi recipe with step by step pictures and instructions. Luchi is deep fried Indian flat bread made with maida. It is similar to Poori but made with all purpose flour. It is so soft and fluffy and one of the traditional recipes from Bengal. They make it for any festivals and pairs well with Alur Dom. Traditionally they fry luchi in ghee but I used normal refined oil to fry them.
Preparation and method is similar to making poori where we knead the dough adding little ghee/oil. Enjoy them with any subzi of your choice and they stay so soft for long time. Perfect to pack for lunch box for kids. We are starting September Mega BM from today and we have the interesting theme of thali lined up. First week I am doing breakfast from different states. Starting with most popular breakfast of bengal Luchi and Dum Aloo. Stay tuned for most interesting posts all through the month.
