How to make Luchi - Step by Step recipe

• In a large bowl, take Maida and ghee/oil.
• Mix the ghee or oil evenly into the maida.
• Now add some water and mix everything nicely.
• Add some more water and knead the dough very well. Kneading will provide gluten to the Luchis which ultimately helps it to puff properly while frying.
• The dough should be smooth and soft.
  
• Cover the dough and rest it for 20-30 minutes.
• After that, take out small portions from the dough to make small round balls.
  
• Take your time to shape the dough balls properly. It will help making round Luchi.
• Now take some oil and apply it all over the dough ball. Start rolling it from the center.
  
• Rotate and roll it again by applying gentle pressure. Make it in short simple strokes.
  
• Take a heavy bottomed pan or kadhai. Heat oil in it. Make sure you use enough oil to deep fry the breads.
  
• When the oil becomes heated enough and you can see the heated vapor coming out of it. Place the rounded dough portion very carefully in the oil. Press gently to help it puff properly.
  
• When one side has become slight brown in color, flip it over gently. Cook it for few seconds.
  
• Finally remove the Luchi from pan and drain the extra oil with a tissue. Puffed Luchi is ready to be served hot.
