Chef's Notes
Listen carefully, because mastering the luchi is a rite of passage! Do not skip the resting phase, or your dough will fight back like an angry feline every time you try to roll it out.
Pro Tip
Keep your dough slightly firmer than roti dough. If it is too sticky, your luchi will absorb oil like a sponge and become a heavy tragedy instead of a cloud.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you roll the dough too thin in one spot and too thick in another, the steam will escape through the weakest point like a punctured tire, leaving you with a sad, flat, crispy cracker instead of a majestic puffed luchi.

Royal Court Comedy
My chef claims this recipe is 'easy,' which is exactly what someone would say who has never had to scrub a grease-splattered stove.
The Culinary Science
That glorious puffing action happens because the water inside the moist dough turns to steam instantly upon hitting the hot oil, trapped by the tight gluten network until it expands into a magnificent balloon!
