New Delhi: What do you think of Bengali food? Well, it is highly extensive and rich when it comes to representing the cultural values.

In every Bengali household, luchi with torkari (side-dish) is enjoyed. It somehow makes it place in the plate atleast for one meal.
Bengali style Luchi Recipe
A member of the family of poori, luchi is softer than its cousin and also, white in colour. Prepared using semi-soft and moist dough kneaded with maida, salt, oil/ghee and water, it tastes well. To add some extra flavour, you can also add some sugar and kalonji while kneading the dough. Dough should be soft. It should not be sticky. Make sure to use lukewarm water and let the dough sit for a minimum of 30 minutes.
