Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 cups | Plain Flour |
| 150g | Plain Yogurt |
| 2 tbsp | Ghee |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| As needed | Ghee (for frying) |
Instructions:
- Sift flour and salt into a large mixing bowl, ensuring they are well combined.
- Add yogurt to the flour mixture, and mix thoroughly until a crumbly texture forms.
- Gradually incorporate ghee into the mixture, little by little, while continuously kneading the dough.
- Knead the dough vigorously until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a ball, cover it, and let it rest for about 15 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
- After resting, knead the dough again for 2 minutes to further develop its texture.
- Divide the dough into 15 equal-sized portions, and roll each portion into a smooth ball.
- Roll out each ball into a 3-inch (7 1/2 cm) diameter circle using a rolling pin, ensuring even thickness throughout.
- In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat ghee or oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
- Carefully fry the luchis in batches of 1 or 2 at a time, depending on the size of your pan, until they turn golden brown and puff up on both sides.
- Once cooked, remove the luchis from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels.
- Serve the hot Dahi Luchis immediately, either as is or with your favorite accompaniments.
Tips:
- Ensure the yogurt is at room temperature before adding it to the flour mixture for better incorporation.
- If the dough feels too dry, add a little water, one tablespoon at a time, until you achieve the desired consistency.
- To prevent the luchis from becoming too oily, ensure the ghee or oil is at the correct temperature before frying.
- Serve Dahi Luchis with a side of spicy pickle or chutney for an extra kick of flavor.
