Servings 8 people

Ingredients
  

  • 500 gm beef mince
  • 1 tsp garlic paste
  • 1 tsp ginger paste
  • 2 medium onions grated
  • 2 slices bread shredded into fine crumbs
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cumin powder or garam masala
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper powder
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • juice of half lemon
  • small bunch finely chopped coriander
  • 1-2 green chillies chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the ingredients until well incorporated. Cover in a bowl and refrigerate for about an hour or up to overnight. Fry one small meatball to taste and adjust salt/spice and consistency if needed. If the mixture is too soft or breaks in the oil add some breadcrumbs. If too dry add a bit of beaten egg or yoghurt.
    Shape all the remaining mixture into small bite sized meatballs, If possible refrigerate them on a tray (cover with cling film) for 20 minutes so they retain their shape when frying. Then deep fry for about 3 minutes or until brown and cooked through. Drain on tissues and serve with a dip!
    Enjoy!
