Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground Beef
- 1 medium, chopped Onion
- 2 teaspoons, grated Ginger
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 finely chopped Green Chili
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh Coriander
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam Masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 3 tablespoons Coconut Oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped green chili, and fresh coriander.
Add the egg to the mixture, ensuring it is well incorporated to help bind the ingredients.
Sprinkle in the cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly using your hands until well combined.
Shape the mixture into small, flat patties, roughly 2 inches in diameter, and place them on a tray. You should be able to make about 12 kebabs.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the kebabs in the skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook them in batches.
Cook the kebabs for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and completely cooked through.
Remove kebabs from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve hot with a side salad or paleo-friendly dipping sauce for a complete meal.
