1. Luchi Method:- - - To begin making Bengali Style Luchi, first sift the flour with salt once into a large mixing bowl. Add oil or ghee to the same bowl and mix till incorporated.
2. You have a smooth dough, like you will need when making poori. Cover with the luchi dough with a wet muslin cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
3. When the oil is hot, gently slide the rolled out luchi, one by one, into the kadai. Fry for a minute on either sides, till they are puffy and cooked. Do not brown the luchis. The traditional luchi looks like a white puffed poori. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on kitchen paper. - Luchi is ready.

I am ending it with a bang with. Following the Tamil Nadu mini thali, here is the simple Bengali mini thali with a dal, dry curry, roti, and rice. I am not going to say this as traditional Bengali Thali but with two main recipes from Bengal cuisine, I thought of calling it as mini Bengali Thali. :-) For folks who want to avoid rice for dinner, this is a perfect bet. The huge thali consisted of eight traditional Bengali dishes served along with luchi. From kosha mangsho, labra and fish curry to payesh and dal, the diva's Bengali thali was packed with all things yummy!
