Luchi (Bengali: লুচি) or Lusi (Assamese: লুচি) is a super yummy, deep-fried flatbread. It's made from a special flour called maida flour. This tasty bread comes from the Bengal region.
Luchi is very popular in parts of India like Assam, Odisha, West Bengal, and Tripura. People also love Luchi in the neighboring country of Bangladesh.
How Luchi is Enjoyed
People often eat Luchi with delicious side dishes. Two popular choices are aloor dum, which is a potato curry, and kosha mangsho, a rich mutton curry. Imagine dipping a fluffy Luchi into these flavorful dishes!
Luchi's Special Role
Luchi is also special because it can be eaten when people avoid rice. For example, during a day called Ekadashi, some people follow a ritual. They choose not to eat rice on this day. Luchi becomes a perfect meal then!
When eaten for these special times, Luchi is usually paired with vegetarian dishes. Dum aloo is a common vegetarian choice. On other occasions, when there are no such rules, Luchi and kosha mangsho make a very popular combination.
