Ingredients:
For the Dough
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup ghee or unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
Water, as needed (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup)
For the Filling
250 grams minced meat (chicken, lamb)
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust for spice)
1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/4 teaspoon red chili powder
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
Salt, to taste
2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon oil (for cooking)
For Frying
Oil, for deep frying
Instructions:
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt.
Add the melted ghee or butter and mix until crumbly.
Gradually add water, kneading until a smooth and pliable dough forms.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add the chopped onions and green chilies. Sauté until the onions turn golden brown.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute.
Add the minced meat, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook until the meat is browned and cooked through.
Remove from heat, then mix in garam masala, fresh coriander, and lemon juice. Allow the mixture to cool.
Assemble the Lukhmi
Divide the rested dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball).
Roll each ball into a thin circle on a floured surface.
Place a generous spoonful of the meat filling in the center of each circle.
Fold the circle in half to create a semi-circle and press the edges together to seal. You can crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Fry the Lukhmi
Heat oil in a deep-frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the Lukhmi to the oil, a few at a time, without overcrowding.
Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve
Serve hot with mint chutney or ketchup as a delicious appetizer or snack.
This Lukhmi recipe is perfect for gatherings, parties, or simply as a tasty treat for yourself. Enjoy the crispy exterior and flavorful filling that will surely impress your family and friends!
