Yield: 4
Author: Shayma Saadat

Ingredients

  • 1 lb minced beef (non-lean)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped fine
  • 2 cups coarsely chopped fresh coriander, stems and leaves
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 4 red or green chilies (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 3/4 cup coarsely chopped green onions (white and green portion)
  • 2 tbsp coriander seeds
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp salt
  • corn oil (or any other neutral oil) for shallow frying

Instructions

  • Combine meat, onion, coriander, mint, chilies, cayenne pepper, green onions, coriander seeds, egg and salt in a food processor and process untill well combined and onions, green onions and coriander are finely chopped.
  • Form meat into 2-inch round flat patties, about 1/2-inch thick
  • At this stage you have two options- either fry the kebabs, or if you wish to employ healthy cooking techniques, broil them in the oven.

For frying

  • Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a pan over medium heat. Working in batches, add patties to oil and fry for 30-40 seconds per side or until golden brown and cooked through, adding more oil as needed (you may need to change the oil as it darkens).

For broiling

  • Line a cookie sheet with foil and brush with corn oil.
  • Arrange patties on a cookie sheet and brush each patty with corn oil.
  • Place under a hot grill/broiler 30-40 seconds per side.
  • Serve with a yoghurt mint chutney and naan or other flatbread.
