Luri fira is a rice flour flatbread. It is a traditional Rohingya bread which looks similar to other flatbreads across South Asia, called chappati or ruti, except that those are more often made from wheat rather than rice. In fact, the word ‘luri’ has the same root as the word ‘ruti’. Fira, sometimes pronounced pira, means a snack. Luri fira is made entirely with rice flour which is obtained by grinding down rice grains into a fine powder. Luri fira features heavily during festivals like Eid, when it is eaten with beef, mutton or chicken curries.
