Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef mince
- 100 grams Chana dal
- 1 large, finely chopped Onion
- 2 tablespoons Ginger garlic paste
- 2 finely chopped Green chilies
- 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh coriander
- 100 milliliters for frying Oil
- 500 milliliters Water
Instructions
Rinse the chana dal thoroughly under cold water and soak in water for about 1 hour.
In a large pot, add the beef mince, soaked chana dal, chopped onion, ginger garlic paste, green chilies, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, garam masala, salt, and 500 milliliters of water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the dal is completely cooked and the water has been absorbed.
Transfer the cooked mixture to a food processor and pulse until the mixture becomes a smooth paste. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the mixture into a bowl, add one beaten egg and the fresh coriander. Mix well to combine.
Shape the mixture into round, flat patties, about the size of your palm.
Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl and set aside.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each patty into the beaten egg, ensuring both sides are coated, and place them in the hot oil.
Fry the kebabs in batches, for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the kebabs from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
Serve hot with mint chutney or yogurt dip.
