Instructions: How to Make Luchi/Puri

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the maida (all-purpose flour), salt, and sugar (if using).
• Gradually add warm water, little by little, and knead the dough to form a smooth and soft consistency.
• Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the dough and knead again for 3-5 minutes until the dough is elastic and smooth.
• Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes to help it soften.
• After resting, divide the dough into small balls (about 10-12 pieces).
• Roll each ball into a smooth disc, around 3-4 inches in diameter, keeping the thickness even.
• Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadhai over medium heat. To check the oil temperature, drop a small piece of dough in the oil; if it rises immediately, the oil is hot enough.
• Carefully slide the rolled luchi into the hot oil. Press gently with a slotted spoon to help it puff up.
• Once the luchi puffs up, flip it over and fry until golden brown (about 1-2 minutes on each side).
• Remove the luchi from the oil and place it on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
• Serve hot with a side of aloo dum, cholar dal, or any curry of your choice.
