Chatur Luchi (ছাতুর লুচি)

 **Chatur Luchi (Gram Flour Puffed Bread)**

**Ingredients:**

- 1 cup chatu (roasted gram flour)

- 1 cup wheat flour (atta)

- 2-3 tablespoons ghee or oil

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- Warm water (as needed)

- Oil (for deep frying)

**Instructions:**

1. **Mixing the dough**: In a bowl, mix together the chatu (gram flour), wheat flour, and salt. Add ghee or oil and mix well with your fingers until the flour turns crumbly.

2. **Kneading**: Gradually add warm water and knead the mixture into a smooth, firm dough. It should not be too soft or sticky. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

3. **Rolling out the luchis**: Divide the dough into small equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a small, flat disc (about 4-5 inches in diameter) using a rolling pin.

4. **Frying**: Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Once the oil is hot, gently slide in the rolled-out luchi. Press it lightly with a slotted spoon, and it will puff up. Fry until both sides are golden brown.

5. **Serving**: Remove the luchi and drain excess oil on a paper towel. Serve hot with curries, chutneys, or any side dish of your choice.

Enjoy your Chatur Luchi!
