Luchi (Bengali: লুচি)(Assamese: লুচি lusi )(Oriya: ଲୁଚି) is a deep-fried flatbread made of wheat flour that is typical of Bengali cuisine Assamese Maithili and Oriya. In order to make luchis a dough is prepared by mixing fine maida flour with water and a spoonful of ghee which is then divided into small balls. These balls are flattened using a rolling-pin and individually deep-fried in cooking oil or ghee. A typical luchi will measure 4-5 inches in diameter.
