How to Make Aromatic Beef Kofti
- Finely chop 1 large onion, 2 cloves garlic, and 1-2 green chilies (adjust to your spice preference).
- In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef (ground three times for optimal texture), the chopped onion, garlic, and chilies.
- Add 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp garam masala, 1 tsp salt (or to taste), and 1 large egg. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is sticky.
- Stir in 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander and 1 tbsp chopped fresh methi (fenugreek) leaves.
- Gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the Kofta tough.
- Divide the mixture in half, then divide each half into 12 equal portions (24 portions total).
- Shape each portion into a small, flat patty.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the Kofta with olive oil.
- Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Alternatively, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the Kofta until browned on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
