Luchi Ghugini - 150-th Post Special

Iam totally excited to pen down this post a very special one because I have knocked "150-th recipe" in my blog
Again a big and heartfelt thanks to all my followers and readers
"Luchi" is a well known breakfast in Eastern India.It is not only Bengali's favorite...Frankly speaking Kolkata is popular for "Street Foods" hence  the Luchis in the road side shops are much more tastier and absolutely lip smacking
It is served during Durga Pooja and many functions also.Since Iam in Kolkata I want to celebrate this post with "Bengali Cuisine's Specialty"
It is none other than the poori but it is completely made with maida and fried in ghee.So weight watchers  its ok once in a while.What say
Got this recipe from a chef in our apartment community.Thanks to him again

• Ghee - 2 tablespoons

Method

• In a mixing bowl add maida,kala jeera, salt and sugar

• Drop it into oil and deep fry them

• Gently press the luchis with the ladle
