Directions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

Recipe Yield
