Afghan Beef Patties

Ingredients

Method

  • 1 tbsp each cumin and coriander seeds
  • 500g beef mince
  • 1 tsp crushed black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 2 chopped red chillies
  • 1 tbsp ginger and garlic paste
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 5 chopped spring onions
  • 50g fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1 chopped tomato
  • 5g each coriander and mint leaves, finely chopped
  • Oil for deep frying
  • Dry-fry the coriander and cumin seeds in a pan for 2-3 mins, then add to a pestle and mortar and crush. Add to the mince in a mixing bowl and stir in the pepper, chilli flakes, chillies, garlic and ginger paste, onion, spring onion, tomato, breadcrumbs, herbs and some salt. Mix thoroughly, then shape into 6 balls before flattening slightly into patties.
  • Add about 2cm of oil to a frying pan and heat to sizzling temperature. Gently add the patties in batches to the pan, and fry for about 4 mins on each side. When they’re crispy and charred on the outside and only just cooked in the middle, they’re ready for serving with some flatbreads, relish, salad and anything else you fancy.
