LUCHI

LUCHI 

Ingredients:

11/3 cup Flour (Maida) 
1/4 tsp Salt 
1/4 tsp Sugar (optional) 
3 tbsp Melted Ghee 
1/2 cup Warm Water or as needed 
Ghee for deep frying

Preparation:

·    Blend the flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Rub the melted ghee into it and gradually using enough water to make a stiff but pliable dough.

·    Cover the dough with damp cloth and set aside for 30 minutes.

·    Knead dough a little again. Dough should be stiff enough to roll without extra flour.

·    Make small balls of the dough and cover them with damp cloth.

·    Take one ball of dough and dip a corner of ball in melted ghee or oil and roll it out into 5 to 6 inches round. Repeat the same process to roll out all pooris.

·    Heat plenty of oil in a kadhai until very hot. Put in a luchi and immediately start flickering hot oil over the top of it with a spatula so that it will swell up like a ball.

·    This should take only a few seconds. Flip the luchi over and cook the other side until golden brown.

·    Serve hot with curries or vegetables.
