Lukhmi

(लुख़मी, لقمی)

Lukhmi is a traditional appetizer or snack originating from Hyderabad. It's similar to a samosa, but it's made with meat and shaped into a flat and square patty. The pastry is usually made with a combination of flour, ghee, and dahi, while the filling usually consists of ground lamb or chicken, cumin, ginger-garlic paste, chili powder, oil, coriander, hot peppers, lemon juice, and salt.


Once assembled, the lukhmi is deep-fried in hot oil until golden brown, and it's then served hot. This snack is especially popular at weddings and similar festive events in the region.
