• Add salt, sugar and 2 tsp oil into it.

• By gradually using enough and sufficient water make stiff but pliable dough.

• Dough should be stiff enough to roll without extra flour.
• Make small balls of the dough and spread little oil on it so that while rolling it will not stick with the rollers.

• Take one ball of dough and roll it out into 5 to 6 inches round.

• Repeat the same process to roll out all pooris.
• Heat oil in a pan until it becomes very hot. Put luchi and slightly press the top of it with a spatula so that it will swell up like a ball.

• This should take only a few seconds. Flip the luchi over and cook the other side until golden brown.
• Take out on absorbent paper and serve
• Serve hot with curries, meethi cholar dal or vegetables.

Note:

• You can Cover the dough with damp cloth and set aside.
