Luchi

Ingredients

cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons melted ghee or vegetable oil
1/2 cup warm water

Preparation

1
Blend the flour and salt in a large bowl. Gradually use enough water to make stiff pliable dough. Cover dough with damp cloth and set aside for 30 minutes. Knead dough again. Roll dough into a long 1 inch diameter tube. Pinch off end and roll into a small ball. Dip corner of dough into melted ghee or oil. Roll it out into 4 inches in diameter. Heat plenty of oil. Put luchi in and flicker oil on top so it will swell up like a ball. In a few seconds, flip over and cook the other side until golden brown.

About

This is a recipe I learned about through a friend of mine who is from India. He says it is a traditional Indian bread to eat with curry. You use this bread instead of utensils. It's soft and delicious, not crispy. You can also fry it in ghee which makes it taste even better.
