For rajgira luchi

Ingredients

• 200 g rajgira flour

• 2 tbsp black raisins, seedless

• saindha salt to taste

• warm water as required

• ghee for frying

Method

Finely chop the seedless black raisins.

In a mixing bowl, add rajgira flour, chopped raisins and saindha salt. Mix it well with the help of hands. Use both the palms to knead the mixture well till the raisin chunks mash and blend well.

Add warm water and make a semi-hard dough. Cover with a cloth and set aside for 10 minutes.

Make equal-sized dough balls and roll them out with the help of a rolling pin to prepare slightly thick puris.

In a frying pan, heat ghee. Fry the puris well from both the sides till a nice golden texture appears.

Remove the puris from the frying pan and place on tissue paper to soak the excess ghee.

Puris, or luchi, are ready.

Serve hot and fresh luchi with charcoal roasted aloo chokha.
