- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch ginger, grated
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tbsp breadcrumbs (for binding)
- 2 tbsp oil (for frying)
- For Coating:
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (or panko)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten (for dipping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onions, garlic, ginger, green chilies, and fresh coriander.
- Add the cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, turmeric, and salt. Mix everything thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add the beaten egg and breadcrumbs to bind the mixture together. You should have a slightly sticky but firm consistency. If it’s too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs.
- Shape the Cutlets:
- Take a small portion of the beef mixture (about 2-3 tablespoons) and shape it into a round or oval-shaped patty. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
- Press gently to flatten each patty so it cooks evenly.
- Coat the Cutlets:
- Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one shallow bowl, the beaten egg in another, and the breadcrumbs in a third.
- Coat each patty in the flour first, then dip it in the egg wash, and finally roll it in the breadcrumbs, making sure it’s fully covered.
- Fry the Cutlets:
- Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the cutlets to the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. Fry the cutlets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the cutlets from the pan and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
- Serve:
- Serve your hot beef cutlets with a side of fresh salad, mint chutney, or your favorite dip. Enjoy!
