Legimat or Sweet Dumplings (Luqaimat)

I remember back then when i’m in UAE, and one of my friend take me to Global Village which is one of the best place to visit in Dubai. I’ve been curious in this food which has a similar look to a Filipino food Karioka balls. Actually there is also similarity in the taste but the preparation and ingredients are different. The legimat dumplings are not sweet, therefore, honey, regular syrup, or date syrup must be poured on top of the dumplings.
Luqaimat, are usually made in the month of Ramadan and enjoyed after iftar. If the previous sentence didn’t make sense to you, then you should know that Ramadan is a holy month for Muslims. Muslims fast in this month, they stop eating and drinking from dawn to sunset. Iftar means breaking the fast.
Making these dumplings require focus. Don’t misunderstand me, they are so easy to make, but to get good dumplings you have to fry them the right way. If the oil is too hot, they’ll only cook from the outside, if the oil is not hot enough the dumplings will absorb it, and you won’t enjoy them as much.
Hope to taste this food again..
