Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground Beef
- 1 medium, chopped Onion
- 2 teaspoons, grated Ginger
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 finely chopped Green Chili
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh Coriander
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam Masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 3 tablespoons Coconut Oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped green chili, and fresh coriander.
Step 2
Add the egg to the mixture, ensuring it is well incorporated to help bind the ingredients.
Step 3
Sprinkle in the cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly using your hands until well combined.
Step 4
Shape the mixture into small, flat patties, roughly 2 inches in diameter, and place them on a tray. You should be able to make about 12 kebabs.
Step 5
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the kebabs in the skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook them in batches.
Step 7
Cook the kebabs for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and completely cooked through.
Step 8
Remove kebabs from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve hot with a side salad or paleo-friendly dipping sauce for a complete meal.
