Ingredients
For the dough:

- 1/4 cup ghee
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Water for kneading
For the filling:
- 1/2 pound ground beef or mutton
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 green chilies, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
- Salt to taste
- Oil for frying
Directions
- To make the dough, combine the all-purpose flour, ghee, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix everything together until the ghee is well incorporated into the flour.
- Add water gradually to the mixture and knead it until you get a smooth and pliable dough. Cover the dough and set it aside to rest for 20-30 minutes.
- To make the filling, heat some oil in a large pan. Add the chopped onions and green chilies and fry until the onions turn translucent.
- Add the ginger-garlic paste and fry until the raw smell goes away.
- Add the ground meat and fry it until it is cooked through.
- Add the red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt to taste. Mix everything together and fry for a few more minutes. Turn off the heat and let the filling cool.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Take a small ball of the dough and roll it out into a thin oval shape. Cut the oval into two halves.
- Place a spoonful of the filling on one half of the oval and fold the other half over it to form a triangular shape. Press the edges of the lukhmi with a fork to seal it shut.
- Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the lukhmi until they are golden brown on both sides.
- Transfer the lukhmi to a baking tray and bake them in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until they are crisp and golden.
- Serve the lukhmi hot with mint chutney or tomato ketchup.
