Mix the flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the warm water and egg, then make a sticky dough as thick as cake batter.
Rest the dough for 50 minutes, until risen and bubbly on the surface.
Heat the vegetable oil to 175°C.
Drop small portions of dough with an oiled spoon and fry for 3 minutes.
Transfer the fried luqaimat to the date syrup and turn them for 2 minutes.
Sprinkle with sesame and serve hot.
💡 Tip: The dough should be loose enough to slide off the spoon; stiff dough makes luqaimat heavy like dense lokma.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot luqaimat with date syrup and sesame, alongside unsweetened tea to balance the sweetness.
