Bengali Luchi Recipe is the first thing that pops up in one's mind when thinking about Bengali food. These fried puffed breads are made from all purpose flour gently deep fried and to be eaten with comforting aloo curries.

Luchi are quintessentially Bengali and despite their clearly indulgent and low health quotient, they must be eaten. Save this for special festive breakfasts or when you’re entertaining guests over high tea.

Serve Luchi with Bengali Cholar Dal or with Bengali Style Aloo Dum for a comfort Sunday brunch.
