🇮🇳 Indian

Luchi straight off the tawa — blistered, ghee-brushed and impossible to eat slowly. 45 minutes of mostly hands-off cooking.

Ghee2 tbsp
All-Purpose Flour2 cups
Neutral Oilfor kneading

Optional extras

Fresh Cilantroto finish

Instructions

1
Knead a soft dough with the flour, mash or spice, and a spoon of oil; rest 20 minutes.
2
Roll into rounds — even thickness so they puff as one.
3
Slide into medium-hot oil and press gently; it should balloon in seconds.
4
Fry to a light gold on both sides and serve immediately — puff waits for no one.

Chef's tip

Hot tawa, dry flour only; wet flour burns and sticks.
