Luchi is a traditional deep-fried bread originating from Bengali cuisine in East India and Bangladesh. Made from refined wheat flour (maida), water, and a pinch of salt, it is rolled into small discs and fried until puffed and golden. With its crisp exterior and soft interior, Luchi is often paired with curries, potatoes, or lentils for a flavorful meal. While its simple ingredients make it easy to prepare, Luchi is considered indulgent due to the use of refined flour and oil, which contribute to its high carbohydrate and fat content. It lacks dietary fiber and is best enjoyed sparingly in a balanced diet. Rich in energy, Luchi provides a quick boost, but its nutritional profile isn’t well-suited for those seeking heart-healthy or weight-conscious options. A staple during festive occasions, it holds cultural significance and continues to be a cherished food in Bengali households.
