Patees ~ Emirati Beef Patties

17- Beef PateesPin

 

Today is commemorated as Martyr’s Day across the UAE. The day was declared by the president of the UAE, as a mark for respect towards all the UAE soldiers, who were martyred on their duties and from this year onwards, it is a public holiday. You can read more about it here. May Allah bless the souls of the martyrs with the highest ranks in His Jannah, Aameen…

 

Following up from our Faloodah post of yesterday, today is a nice snack to have with a cup of hot black coffee, or kahwa, like the locals call it here. This recipe is also from the cut-outs as mentioned yesterday. I made a few variations to the original recipe – I mixed the beef mince into the potato mash, while the original recipe had asked to put a little beef inside a potato ball and shape like a patties. I don’t think it would make much difference as such. 🙂 The red chilli powder is my addition, since there was no spicy element in the recipe. I guess black pepper would be a good substitute, as it would be a good match with the spices that go into this recipe – cumin and cinnamon. Unlike our usual cutlets, this was different in taste. I had made these during Ramadan (yeah, that long ago, but kept it pending specifically for this time! 🙂 ) and as umma sank her teeth into one along with her mug of chai, after Iftar, she commented, “It always feels nice to eat somebody else’s cutlets!” Hehe… I have always mentioned that umma makes the best cutlets amongst all of us, though she normally does not eat much of it. I can understand – I always eat my food the next day!

 

We will have one more post tomorrow to make three Emirati recipes back to back, and it is one of the most requested recipes that I have been wanting to post since so long. Finally, InShaAllah it is becoming time, and I can’t wait to post it. I am sure you all are waiting for it too… 🙂 Till then, off to the simple recipe…
