Servings: persons

1/2 kg beef mince (as fine as you can get or you can give it one round in a blender)
2 tablespoons soya sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice or 2 tablespoons vinegar (I use vinegar mostly)
salt (take into consideration the amount of salt that is in the soya sauce you use)
3/4 inch cube gingerroot, minced fine (I sometimes use even more)
6 -8 cloves garlic, minced fine
1 teaspoon cumin seed, roasted and ground
1 teaspoon coriander seed, roasted and ground (I make my own cumin and coriander powders this way and keep them in airtight bottles for upto a week)
1 teaspoon cayenne powder
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder
3 onions, minced fine
12 mint leaves, chopped
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
2 green chilies (deseeded and chopped fine)
1 1 cup desiccated coconut or 1 cup unsweetened coconut (if you are using dessicated coconut or unsweetened coconut instead of the fresh then soak in 1/2 cup) (optional)
black pepper
1 egg, beaten
semolina or breadcrumbs, to coat
oil, for shallow frying

1
Mix all upto the egg ingredients well.
2
(You can blend them together too to a coarse paste for a variation) Form into 16-18 cutlets that are of a diameter of around 2 inches when flattened or make them 3 inches across so get around 11-12.
3
Coat with the bread crumbs or semolina (I prefer the semolina).
4
Heat a little oil in a pan (maybe a tblsp per round) to a medium high and shallow fry on low for around 5-6 minutes on each side (as many as the pan can take per round) or till they are cooked to the level you like.
5
Add a little more oil if you require.
6
I normally use non-stick pans and so need a minimum of oil.
7
(1 litre lasts over a month and a half in my household).
