3. Instructions • Preparing Dough for Luchi • First, add the flour, ghee and salt to a bowl or a large plate (tray). • Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water and mix everything with your hands or a spatula. • Next, add about 1/2 cup of water and start kneading the flour. • Add water as required and knead very well. You need to ensure that the dough is soft and smooth. • Cover the dough with a moist kitchen napkin and let it rest for at least 30 minutes, at room temperature.

4. Rolling and Frying Luchi • Use the dough to make lemon-sized balls. Cover these with a moist napkin. • Apply some oil on the balls and roll each one of them into a circle of about 3-4 inches. • Heat some oil for deep frying in a kadhai or pan. The oil has to become hot. • Next, drop a small piece of the dough in the oil and check if it comes up steadily from the bottom. If it does, it means the oil is ready for the luchi to be fried. • Carefully drop the prepared dough circle into the hot oil. You will see the luchi beginning to puff up. • Nudge the luchi lightly with a spoon to help it complete puffing up. • Once one side becomes creamish and the oil stops sizzling, turn it over and fry the other side. • Remove the luchi and use kitchen towels to soak the extra oil.  • Serve hot with aloordum, chhola dal or any Bengali vegetable or lentil curry
