  • 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 2 green chilies (finely chopped)
  • 1/2 cup fresh coriander (chopped)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Kabab Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, roasted gram flour, chopped onion, ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, fresh coriander, and all the spices (red chili powder, turmeric, cumin, garam masala, and coriander powder). Mix well.

Step 2: Bind the Mixture

Add the beaten egg to the mixture to bind the ingredients together. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly combined. Cover the bowl and let the mixture rest for 15 minutes.

Step 3: Shape the Kababs

Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into flat, round kababs. Repeat the process until all the mixture is used.

Step 4: Fry the Kababs

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Shallow fry the kababs in batches, cooking each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 5: Serve

Remove the kababs from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve hot with mint chutney, raita, or ketchup.

Homemade burgers with sweet potato wedges

Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the onion for about 5 mins or until soft. Leave to cool slightly. When cool, put the onion in a large bowl with the mince, egg, bashed crackers, chilli, garlic, ketchup and brown sauce, and mix well to combine. Divide the mince into 6, roll into balls and flatten each into a nice fat burger. Put the flour on a plate, dab each burger to the flour on both sides, then transfer to a baking tray. Wrap with cling film and pop in the fridge for a couple of hours. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. To make the wedges, put the sweet potato on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with paprika, season, then give them a good shake or shuffle around with your hands to make sure they’re well coated. Roast for 30-40 mins depending on how crisp you like them. Make sure you give them a good shake a couple of times to ensure they cook evenly. When the wedges have been cooking for 10 mins, drizzle the burgers with a little olive oil and put them in the oven to cook with the wedges for the remaining 20-30 mins, flipping them halfway. 5 Serve the burgers in the rolls with your choice of toppings, and a good helping of wedges on the side.
