Delicate beauty
This pristine white bread is made of refined flour. Can be accompanied with virtually anything from jaggery to mutton.
Makes around 50 luchis
Maida (refined flour) 1.5 cups
Refined oil 1 tbsp
Salt a pinch
Oil for deep frying
There are two points to remember about making this item.
1 - Luchi is made of refined flour or maida - period. If you are a health freak and think of adding atta (whole wheat flour) then do not call it Luchi. Not even half and half, just maida.
2 - The cups and spoons I use for measurement are measuring cups and spoons which come in standard sizes and are available in shops or online. Do not use any and every cup and spoon from your kitchen
With these things in mind the dish is very simple.
Knead the dough with 1 tablespoon oil, a pinch of salt and water as required. Knead till smooth.
Divide into small equal portion. Roll it out using a rolling pin. It should be even, preferably round,
not thick but not too thin either. Deep fry in oil or ghee making sure both the sides get enough oil. Fry till it puffs up and before it is brown. Serve hot.
