The Magic of Soft Phulko Luchi: Why Is It So Popular?

Luchi has a special importance in Bengali cuisine. But many people now avoid oil-fried soft fluffy luchi, especially those who are health-conscious. This new method was born from that thought—water-fried luchi.

The features of this luchi are:

• Completely oil-free, so easy to digest.
• The luchi is soft, puffy, and fluffy, just like oil-fried.
• From children to adults—everyone can eat it with confidence.
• Easy to make, and the cost of oil is zero!

List of ingredients

You don’t need many ingredients to make soft phulko luchi. All you need is the following:

• Flour – 2 cups
• Salt – to taste
• Lightly warm water – as needed
• Ghee or butter – 1 spoon (optional, for softening)

Preparation method: Soft Phulko Luchi

1. Making the dough

Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Then add warm water little by little. Keep kneading until a soft and pliable dough is formed. If you want, you can add a spoonful of ghee to make the luchi softer.

Tips: The dough should not be too hard, nor too soft—keeping it just in the middle will help the luchi to puff up well.

2. Luchi preparation

Make small balls from the dough. Sprinkle flour on each ball and roll it into a balloon, not too thin, not too thick.

3. Heat the water

Pour enough water into the pan and bring it to a boil. Once the water boils, keep the heat on medium.

4. Frying process

Now, carefully place one luchi in the boiling water. You will see the luchi puffing up in a while! Flip it over immediately, and remove it after 10-12 seconds.

Special tips: Don’t put too many luchis at once—put 1 or 2 at a time to puff up well.

5. Serving

Take the luchi and immediately place it on a clean cloth to dry off the excess water. Then serve it hot to your brother-in-law’s feast!
