Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef or lamb
- 200 grams Sweet potato
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 0.5 bunch Fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 2 Green chilies
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 Egg
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
Instructions
Peel and chop the sweet potato into small cubes. Boil in water until soft, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and leave to cool.
Grate the ginger, chop the onion finely, and mince the garlic.
In a food processor, combine the cooked sweet potato, ground meat, onion, garlic, ginger, cilantro, mint, and green chilies. Pulse until well combined but not too smooth.
Add ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, salt, black pepper, and the egg to the mixture. Process briefly to incorporate the spices.
Form the mixture into small patties, about the size of your palm, and 1/2 inch thick.
Heat coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the kababs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook on each side for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked kababs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Paleo Shami Kababs hot with a side of fresh salad or your preferred dipping sauce.
