Ingredients

  • 350 gm boneless beef/ mutton
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 250 gm potato boiled and mashed
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp fennel seed
  • 2 green chillies minced
  • 1 sprig curry leaves minced
  • 1 onion minced
  • 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
  • 2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves optional
  • 1/4 tsp garam masala powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 egg whites whisked
  • Bread crumbs made of 3 slices of big bread

Instructions

  • Wash and drain the beef cubes. In a pressure cooker, add the turmeric and black pepper with salt and cook till done. In case stock is there, dry the stock till coated on the meat. Allow to cool.
  • Pulse the meat in the grinder till done.
  • In a large saucepan, heat oil. Splutter the fennel seeds.
  • Add the chillies and curry leaves and saute for a minute.
  • Add the onion and saute till wilted. Add the ginger garlic paste and saute for a minute.
  • Add the mashed potato and ground beef and give a good mix. Adjust seasoning at this point. Add the garam masala. Allow to cook for a couple of minutes, while you fold it in well. Switch off and allow to cool.
  • Divide into 9 or 10 cutelts and set aside. Dip into the egg whites sealing all the edges well, and then into the bread crumbs, coating sparingly.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan till sizzling hot. When a drop of the bread crumb is dropped, it will fry and push up.
  • Add the cutlets and fry both sides till golden brown. Drain on a kitchen towel. Enjoy warm.
