Luchi is a deep-fried flatbread, made of maida flour. 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, as in the case of ekadashi. Luchi is often paired with vegetarian dishes such as aloor dum or ghugni, or with mutton curry.
