Instructions

Minced beef

Saute - In a large pan over medium heat add the oil and saute the onion, ginger, garlic, cumin seeds, and chopped chilies until the onions are transparent.
2 tbsp Cooking oil, 1 cup Onions, 2 inch Fresh ginger, 4 large Garlic cloves, 1 medium Green Chilli, ½ tsp Cumin seeds
Beef - Add ground beef or mince meat and stir on medium-high breaking it apart to prevent lumps. Then, add the tomatoes and spices. Mash the tomatoes with your spatula as much as you can.
½ kg Minced meat, 1 small Tomato
Dry - Then, add the lemon juice, mint, and coriander leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Cook on high until all the water has evaporated and the mixture is fairly dry.
Pro tip - drying the moisture is important otherwise it will make the mashed potato soggy.
10 Mint leaves, 1/2 cup Coriander leaves, 2 tbsp Lemon juice, ½ tsp Salt, ½ tsp Ground black pepper
Cool - Let cool completely. Place in the fridge for at least an hour or two. (or overnight). Once cooled to almost room temperature add the egg and breadcrumbs.
1 large Egg, 2 tbsp Breadcrumbs
Shape - Take a gold size ball of the mixture in the palm of your hand. Flatten it into a patty.
Store - Place the prepared cutlets on a parchment-lined baking tray covered with a clean kitchen towel. Continue making all the patties until you have used all the mixture.
Pro tip - these can be kept in the fridge at this stage for up to a day. Make sure to keep them wrapped well to prevent cracking.

Coat and fry

Coating - Use three flat plates or large bowls.
- On one plate add the flour. Season with salt and pepper.
-On the second plate beat the egg and season with salt and pepper.
- And, on a third plate add the breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper.
Pro tip - you can add some sesame seeds or finely chopped cilantro leaves to the breadcrumb mixture.
½ cup Flour, 1 large Egg, 1 cup Breadcrumbs, ½ tsp Salt, ½ tsp Black pepper
Coat - Light coat the potato chops with flour/. Then dip them in beaten eggs and finally in the breadcrumb mixture.
Pro tip - use one hand to work with the dry ingredients and the other with the wet ingredients - this way it will be less messy.
Fry - Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. Gently place the chops in the pan and let cook for 2 minutes on each side using a flat spatula to turn gently.
Pro tip - work gently so you don't ruin the shape of the potato chops. The filling and mashed potato are both cooked so all we need is color. So, keep the heat on medium to high.
½ cup Cooking oil
Drain - When lightly golden, remove them onto an absorbent paper towel to soak any excess oil.
