Luchi aloor dum step-by-step recipe with photos.
Baby potatoes served with deep-fried flatbread – quintessential Bengali breakfast. Luchi is a deep-fried flatbread made with plain flour or maida. It is similar to poori, which is made of wholemeal flour or atta. Aloor dum is a spicy baby potato curry. Traditionally, the aloor dum was made during winter – the new potatoes season. But these days they are available throughout the year and we don’t have to wait for winter to get these potatoes.
Next time you see baby potatoes, grab them, and try this recipe. But I must say, for my husband, luchi aloor dum is no.2 in his list (no.1 being luchi served with kosha mangsho or dry mutton curry!). Luchi with aloor dum – one big indulgent brunch and happy tummies at my home!
