Lukhmi

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 yogurt, while the filling usually consists of ground lamb, cumin, ginger, chili powder, garlic, 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.
