Luqaimat/ Saudi Arabian Sweet Dumplings

20:17 Niloufer Riyaz 26 Comments

Luqaimat- This is nothing but cute little dumplings in syrup. Arabic food is always my favorite n every time I visit local fairs here We would never miss buying these Luqaimats made by the local beduins here.

Luqaimat






 The beduins would make them hot, hot and serve us with syrup. These dumplings are crisp and sweet on the outside n soft inside. Im on cloud nine coz I made my fav arabic dessert at home. Always thought this is very difficult to make. But not anymore, a very easy dessert to make that too within half n hour Can You believe this? Once you taste them you will surely fall in love with this tasty dessert. You can also drizzle honey which also tastes heavenly. Donot allow them to soak them in syrup for a long tiome, they would loose crispiness n always serve them warm for best taste. Got this beautiful recipe from here. I made only half the quantity n got quite a lot of dumplings as the dough will puff a lot n you only have to put a small quantity by teaspoonfuls n they will puff up.
