Ingredients
-
2 pounds ground beef
-
1 tablespoon garlic paste
-
1 tablespoon ginger paste
-
1 teaspoon ground coriander, or more to taste
-
1 teaspoon ground cumin, or more to taste
-
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
-
½ teaspoon garam masala
-
½ teaspoon ground red chile pepper, or to taste
-
salt to taste
-
½ cup water
-
½ cup chana dal
-
½ cup chopped cilantro
Breading:
-
2 eggs
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
-
½ teaspoon ground red chile pepper, or to taste
-
salt to taste
-
¼ cup bread crumbs, or as needed (Optional)
-
¼ cup vegetable oil, or as needed
Directions
-
Heat a stockpot over medium heat; add ground beef. Stir in garlic paste, ginger paste, coriander, cumin, turmeric, garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon ground red chile, and salt to taste. Add water and dal; simmer until meat is fully cooked and all water has evaporated, 30 to 35 minutes.
-
Blend beef and dal mixture together using an immersion blender in the stockpot. Add 1/2 cup cilantro; blend to combine. Roll spoonfuls of beef and dal mixture into into walnut-sized balls; shape into smooth flat patties.
-
Whisk eggs, 1 tablespoon cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon ground red chile, and salt to taste together in a bowl. Place bread crumbs on a plate. Dip each patty into egg mixture, then roll in bread crumbs.
-
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry patties in a single layer until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
Cook's Note:
If the mixture is not dry enough, patties will fall apart when frying. Add 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour to the beef and dal mixture before frying, if needed.
