How to Make Beef Cutlets

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 teaspoon grated garlic, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1/4 cup grated coconut (optional), and salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly.
  2. Gently form the mixture into 16-18 cutlets, approximately 2 inches in diameter when flattened (or 11-12 cutlets if made 3 inches in diameter).
  3. Coat each cutlet evenly with 1 cup bread crumbs or semolina.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and shallow fry the cutlets for 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Add more oil as needed.
  5. Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce, pulao, raita, dal, and rice.
