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.
