The Perfect Recipe For Luchi Paranta At Home
Ingredients For Luchi Paranta:
- 1 Cup of flour, which can be Maida as well
- ½ Tsp Salt

Instructions:
- Ensure the maida is thoroughly sieved, for a fluffy and soft luchi parantas.
- Take a large bowl and put all the maida, salt, sugar and oil.
- Mix them well so that there are no lumps left.
- Add warm water as you need, so start with small quantities.
- Make a soft dough and knead it for a while. 2 to 3 minutes is good for the kind of dough we need. It will be a little sticky but do not worry.
- Now, rub some oil on the dough and keep it aside for resting; at least for 10 minutes. Cover the bowl with a lid and do not disturb our precious dough.
- Uncover after 10 minutes and then make small portions of dough for luchi paranta.

For Cooking The Yummy And Fluffy Luchi Parantas:
- Sprinkle some flour on the countertop or your rolling board. Take one small portion of the dough and start expanding it with a rolling pin.
- You have to be careful to roll them out not too thick and not too thin otherwise, it will not be like Luchi Paranta. Also, try to maintain its circular shape and the size should be that of a paranta and not a luchi.
- Take a deep frying pan, and heat oil to a medium temperature. Fry one luchi paranta at a time.
- Do not forget to keep an eye out for it and keep rotating it with a perforated ladle.
- Flip to the other side when one side is done to a perfect golden colour. Fry both sides evenly.
- Carefully take it out and keep it aside. Fry the other ones as well.
- Serve it hot with Aloor Dum or Chhole Masala. You can also pair it with raita or plain curd. If you plan on skipping curd altogether, then go for Chai or Lassi.
