Luchi (Bengali: ????, Assamese: ???? lusi, Odia: ????) is a deep-fried flatbread, originating from the Indian subcontinent, made of wheat flour that is typical of Bengali, Assamese, Maithili and Oriya cuisine. 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. They are usually served with curries or gravies. If maida is substituted with atta, it is called a poori.
