This particular dish is very common in Bengali household. Sundays can be special if we have Luchi and Alur torkari for breakfast.
Making Luchi or puri was a tough task for me because despite of number of trials i was not able to figure out what will make the puris soft, and also I was not sure about the quantity of oil to be added for shortening or mayam.
Thanks to my friend Anamika who told me the right way to knead the dough and told me to add some warm milk or curd that will make the puris soft.
Yes!!! I did not call my mom this time becuase she is not good with rotis and parathas.
This sunday I made this breakfast to treat both me and my husband and guess what, like a total foodie my husband was super happy and surprised ... because I generally do not put much effort in making breakfast.
And yes, making luchi is a tedious job.....
Coming to the Alu chorchori part....it is the most easy and quick recipe...and it goes very well with luchi.
At my paternal house in Kolkata...Luchi has to be paired with this alur chorchori, if it is for breakfast.
Plain and simple taste of alur chorchori makes it more apt for luchi.
For The Luchi-
Ingredients-
Maida or All purpose flour- 3 cups (for 6 puri or luchi)
Salt- 1/2 teaspoon
Oil- 2 table spoon
Warm milk- 1/2 cup or Curd - 3 tablespoon
Warm water- as required
Procedure-
Add oil in the maida and rub it with your finger tips
Add salt and warm milk or curd...keep kneading the dough
Now add warm water accordingly and knead maida into a soft dough (it takes time..more you knead ,more soft the luchis will be)
Keep the dough covered with a moist cloth for 30 minutes
Make small balls or lechi and roll out the balls into luchi or puri ( do not use flour for rolling , use oil)
Heat the oil in a kadhai...and fry the luchi (oil has to be proper hot)
For The Alur Chorchori-
Ingredients-
Potato- 2 medium (cut in small cubes)
Green chillies- 1-2
Nigella seeds or Kalonji or Kalo jeera- 1/2 teaspoon
Turmeric- 1/4th teaspoon
