Main Ingredients
  • 750 g beef mince
  • 100 g beef fat
  • 1 tbsp ginger paste
  • 1 tbsp garlic paste
  • 1 tsp salt
Spices
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp coriander seeds
  • 1 tsp red chilli powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
Other Ingredients
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 2 large tomatoes finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 egg egg

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the beef mince, beef fat, ginger paste, garlic paste, and salt. Mix well with your hands or a wooden spoon until just combined.
  2. Add the cumin seeds, coriander seeds, red chilli powder, garam masala powder, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well until the spices are evenly distributed.
  3. Add the chopped onion and tomatoes to the bowl. Mix well until they are evenly distributed.
Kneading
  1. Knead the mixture for 10-15 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable. You can use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment or knead by hand.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mixture rest for 30 minutes.
Shaping
  1. Divide the mixture into 4-6 equal portions, depending on how large you want your kababs to be. Shape each portion into a round or oval shape.
  2. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the shaped kababs and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
  3. Serve the kababs hot with naan, rice, or roti, and garnish with fresh coriander, ginger, and green chillies.
  4. Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the kababs before serving. This will give them a nice glaze and add extra flavor.
