Luchi is one of the most common types of bread that Bengalis devour. While they are very similar to puri and bhatura, there is something unique about these deep-fried breads. Bengali luchi, unlike puri, is made using maida (all-purpose flour). These are stretchy and smooth in texture and extremely delicious to eat.
