Flaxseed meal is a vegan alternative.

Prepare the dough by mixing Maida, salt, egg, oil, curd, and milk until smooth, then let it rest.

Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté chopped onion until golden brown.

Add kheema (minced mutton) to the pan and cook until browned, stirring occasionally.

Incorporate ginger garlic paste, green chillies, and spices into the meat mixture and cook until fragrant.

Stir in coriander leaves and lemon juice, then remove from heat and let the filling cool.

Roll out the rested dough into thin sheets and cut into squares or circles.

Place a spoonful of the meat filling in the center of each dough piece.

Fold the dough over the filling to create a pocket and seal the edges well.

Heat cooking oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until hot.

Fry the filled pockets until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
