Kheema luqmi

                   A very very soft outer covering and a crisp filling of fried kheema makes today's Kheema Luqmi. The covering is very soft a melt in mouth one and the kheema filling is rich in spices that gives you a delightful taste.

                 Kheema Luqmi is a must made dish in my home during Ramadan. And since it is made mostly in Ramadan my Mom uses a shortcut trick and makes triangle luqmis which requires very less time rather than the usual square ones.

                                 

                    The addition of milk to the dough keeps them soft and more whitish than brownish even after frying.

Ingredients:

1. Oil - for deep frying

for the dough:

1. Maida - 300gm
2. Milk - 1/2 cup
3. Water - 1/2 cup (or as needed)
4. Salt - to taste

for the filling:

1. Kheema - 200gm
2. Oil - 1 tbsp
3. Red chili powder - 1/2 tsp
4. Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
5. Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
6. Salt - to taste
7. Coriander leaves - few

Method:

• Wash and drain kheema well.
• Heat oil in a pan.
• Add kheema and all the ingredients listed under the 'for the filling'
• Fry till dry.
• Remove to a plate and leave aside.

•  In a bowl take maida add milk and just enough water with a little salt and knead a soft dough.
• Divide the dough into equal portions of small round balls.
• Take 1 portion on a floured surface and roll out into a thin disc.
• Put little kheema mixture on the two ends as shown in the picture below. 

• Cover the filled portion with the other half of disc.

• Dip your tip of the finger in water and seal the end by this wet finger.
• Using a sharp knife divide the disc into two.
• Again the seal the newly cut end.

This should give you two luqmis.

Repeat with the remaining dough.

•  In a heavy bottomed pan heat oil for deep frying.
• Add 1 luqmi at a time and fry till golden on both sides.

• Remove to an absorbent sheet.
• Serve hot with your favorite accompaniment.
