Luchi/aloo bhaja

Aloo bhaja - fry small pieces of potatoes with salt and turmeric

Luchi:
1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
sprinkle of sugar
1 tbsp of oil

Mix with hands, add a little water at a time until dough is tight
Make small (2 inch) flat balls with the dough
Add a little oil (cooking spray) on counter and rolling pin; Use a rolling pin to flatten balls until thin
Heat oil (enough to deep fry) in a saucepan until boiling, then reduce to medium high heat
Fry flattened balls until swells, then flip (not more than a few seconds on each side)

*Bengali specialty - can also have luchi with sugar
