Bengali luchi puri / how to make luchi

Long time I have been waiting for a good chance to make this luchi at home. Of course many will know that its a famous breakfast dish from Bengal. Not only that I have some indelible memories of having this luchi in the mall streets of Shimla some years back. Literally I was very particular that I should taste that luchi with channa from that petty shop called sita Ram and sons in Lakkar bazar. Finally found the shop and tasted the luchi it was actually very good. After that now only Iam making this on my own and the outcome was really fantastic. I had it with a simple dal tadka but you can have it with any subszi’s of your choice. This Bengali luchi puri is not an hard one to make its

almost like making normal puris with wheat flour. Adding ghee to the dough makes it crispy and tasty. While frying puris you have to check on the flame. It should be perfectly hot and if its too hot then the poori’s brown too quickly. If it browns it will not cook well and the luchi should always have white colour not golden or brown. Don’t roll puris too thick or too thin it should be moderate same thickness. Do try this Bengali luchi and from then Iam sure you will definitely going to make it repeatedly.
