LUCHI RECIPE

• 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.
