Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 kg (2 lbs) beef, chopped
- 1/2 kg (1 lb) potatoes, peeled and chopped (can add 1 or 2 more potatoes if desired)
- 5-6 green chillies, chopped (adjust to taste)
- 1 sprig curry leaves
- 3 medium onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon black pepper powder
- Salt, to taste
- Bread crumbs, as needed
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Oil, for frying
Instructions
- Clean and wash the beef thoroughly. Squeeze out excess water or place in a strainer to drain.
- In a pressure cooker, add the beef and salt. Place the chopped potatoes on top of the beef.
- Cook for about 15-20 minutes until the beef is tender and the potatoes are cooked through. Allow the pressure to release naturally.
- Once cooled, mash the potatoes and shred the beef. Mix them together in a large bowl.
- In a pan, heat a little oil and sauté the onions until they are soft and translucent.
- Add the ginger-garlic paste, green chillies, curry leaves, turmeric powder, garam masala, and black pepper powder. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the sautéed mixture to the beef and potato mix. Combine everything well and adjust salt if needed.
- Shape the mixture into small patties or cutlets.
- Dip each cutlet into the beaten eggs, then coat with bread crumbs.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the cutlets in batches until golden brown on both sides.
- Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
Notes
These cutlets can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for about a week or longer in the freezer. Adjust the number of chillies to suit your spice preference. Serve hot with ketchup or chutney for dipping.
