Luchi
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox food
Luchi is a deep-fried flatbread, made of maida flour.[1][2] Luchi is popular in India (especially East and Northeast India) and in Bangladesh.
Since luchi is made without rice or rice flour, it is a popular staple item at times when rice is to be avoided for ritual purposes,[3] as in the case of ekadashi. Luchi is often paired with vegetarian dishes such as aloor dum or ghugni,[4] or with mutton curry.[5]
History
As per Hindī Śabdasāgara, the word Luchi or Luchui is derived from the Sanskrit word Ruchi (रुचि),[6] meaning something which is appetizing. Bhakt Surdas, a renowned Hindu saint of Bhakti tradition, makes a mention of Luchui in his Braj poetry.[7]

Luchuī Lalita Lāpasī Sohai, Svāda Subāsa Sahaja Mana Mohai
