Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 large tomato, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 0.5 cup whole30 compliant almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
- 3 tablespoons whole30 compliant ghee or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a dry skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the cumin and coriander seeds until they are fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and crush them coarsely using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, chopped tomato, cilantro, mint, crushed cumin and coriander seeds, almond flour, egg, ginger-garlic paste, chili flakes, ground cinnamon, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
With damp hands, divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a flat, round patty, about 1/2-inch thick.
Heat the Whole30 compliant ghee or coconut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place a few kababs in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes or until a golden-brown crust forms and the meat is cooked through.
Remove the cooked kababs from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the process until all kababs are cooked, adding more ghee or coconut oil to the skillet if necessary.
Serve the Chapli Kababs hot, garnished with extra fresh cilantro or mint if desired.
