Taler Luchi | Sweet Palm Puri | Janmashtami Special

Taler Luchi | Sweet Palm Puri | Janmashtami Special

"Luchi" is a famous Bengali fried bread. We Bengali are eat in any time not only morning breakfast to Lunch but also evening and in dinner too. I love Luchi | Puri very much. For deep fry can use Ghee (clarified butter) or refined oil. Today my recipe is Taler Luchi | Sweet Palm Puri. It's not much different from plain Puri except for the color and aroma. The flavor of the yellowish fluidic substance of ripe palm fruit makes things outstanding.

Specifically, we Bengali believe Lord Krishna loves Taler Luchi or Taler Bora (Fuluri). Janmashtami is the birthday of Lord Krishna that day we celebrate Sweet Palm Puri as Janmashtami Special.
