Ingredients

1/2 kg

red meat

large potato

small onion

1 tbsp

salt

1/2 small spoon

pepper

eggs

flour — for dusting

breadcrumbs — for coating

ghee — for frying

Method

Boil the potato until tender, then mash or mince it very fine. Knead it into the seasoned meat with onion and egg yolk so the mixture becomes smooth.

Shape the kofta into rounds, dust them with flour, then pass them through beaten egg and crumbs.

Fry the patties in ghee until golden and serve them with salad or a potato side.

Notes

This is a frugal, practical kofta rather than a meat-heavy restaurant style one.
