If someone is interested: we had difficulties to roll the dough as thinly as it (probably) should be so I used the classic pasta machine. I started at the mark 4 and proceeded to 2 or 1 in order to obtain a round shape. The thinnest pieces (mark 1) became very crunchy but didn't puff up. The slightly thicker pieces (mark 2) became almost perfect luchi.

[@SuperMak91]

Grazie mille!

[@jenniferdas7809]

Rolling the perfect luchi certainly is a skill and I was fortunate to learn it from good teachers. I don’t know how long it would have taken if I were on my own. Also there is a tortilla maker that I wonder about. Have you seen those? It’s just a simple flattening device but highly effective.

In my house we call the perfect round luchis “jamai babu luchis!”

My fav cooking show..thank you bong eats

[@somshon]

I want to thank Bong Eats for saving my soul which is stranded in the UK amidst this pandemic. I made this for dinner today and this time I followed all the measurements and the luchi not only puffed up but it just melted in my mouth. This is the first time my attempt at making luchi has been successful! :) I also made the street style alur torkari with chickpea to accompany the delightful luchi. Thank you for bringing my country closer to me amidst all this.

[@jenniferdas7809]

We made them! They came out fantastic! Almost every single luchi puffed! And they were super flaky! Honestly the best batch I’ve ever made! (I’ve made them many times but never had such an exact and clear recipe with measurements. I used my food scale and the measures were so accurate! My physicist Bengali husband (right there a synonym for “fuss budget”) was truly impressed! I have photos!

[@DebsubhraChakraborty]

To the people who disliked the video: "দেখবি আর জ্বলবি, লুচির মতো ফুলবি।" I was always afraid to make luchis earlier, and a few early attempts had failed. But after following this recipe, they now always come out great! Thanks!

[@mixedmagic2496]

Thik❤️

[@meghajindal]

Tried this after bookmarking it for long, along with aloo dum. O boy !! So good. Equally enjoyed by all four of us - me, hubby and our two little boys. Thankyou for doing this so beautifully and precisely.

[@shahrinrahman2533]

Your rolling instructions are absolutely amazing. Yesterday I tried luchi for only second time, followed your rolling instructions, and it was perfectly round and thick. As if I have made luchis many times. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe which was very easy for the beginners to follow.

[@BongEats]

What is your favourite dish to have with luchi? [Saptarshi likes his with _alu'r torkari_ (potato curry), while Insiya prefers _chhola'r dal_.]

[@pratyaychatterjee7055]

Bong Eats Ghugni....

[@sd268]

Begun Bhaja. Or Mangsher Jhhol. On another note: my mother watched this and said "Beshi moyan diye phelechhe, tel chhara belte parbe na ar edge gulo ektu mota hobe". Her tip is: use less oil and water for the dough but add it *as you knead*. She says that way they come out thinner and you don't need oil to roll. Now I have no idea about the veracity of these claims but I do know that her luchis are superb (though she claims they're not as good as her mother's....) ;)

Most of the bengali/Indian recipes found on youtube are a bit chaotic if I may say so...but to present it in this way looks appealing while retaining it's simplicity. Good job guys! I can finally recommend a good channel like yours to my friends who want to know about bengali cuisine. :D

Wonderful videos! As an amateur cook living away from home, I now have the confidence to venture into the world of Bengali cooking, because of the way you breakdown even the most complicated recipes. Just one very small suggestion- as a beginner, sometimes I find it difficult to figure out what degree of flame or heat to use, for the different types of frying, braising etc. While some of your videos mention it, some don’t. It would be helpful for amateurs like me! Keep up the amazing work :)

Became a fan of your videos. This one with its background score is perfect.I have never seen so clean, professional videos on Bengali recipes and your measurements are awesome. Many Bengalis do not understand the necessity of standardisation and they prefer the trial and error method. Whats so wrong about standardisation, I wonder! I have shared your video on Facebook. BTW, though the background score for this one is fabulous, why don't you experiment with similar stuff for your other videos? mostly you have repeated the background music - which is sort of boring... :D You can produce excellent results there. Good audio visuals have special impacts too. All the best.
