Ingredients
  

  • 500 g beef mince 80/20 fat
  • 1 medium onion grated and squeezed dry
  • 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
  • 3 green chilies finely chopped
  • 0.25 cup fresh coriander finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint finely chopped
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes
  • 1 tsp roasted cumin ground
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp roasted gram flour (besan)

Method
 

  1. Put the mince in a large bowl. Add the squeezed onion, ginger garlic paste, green chilies, coriander, mint, chili flakes, cumin, coriander powder, garam masala, salt and gram flour.
  2. Knead with wet hands for 5 minutes until the mixture is sticky and well combined.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  4. Heat the grill or charcoal until very hot. Oil the grill grate.
  5. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions. Wet your hands and press each portion onto a flat skewer into a long tube about 15 cm (6 in) long.
  6. Grill over high heat for 10 to 12 minutes, turning every 2 to 3 minutes and brushing lightly with oil, until evenly charred and cooked through.
  7. Rest 2 minutes, then serve with chutney, onions and lemon.

No skewers? Shape into flat patties and cook on a hot cast-iron pan for 4 minutes per side.
