Ingredients: For the cutlets:
For maximum flavor, grind your own beef: 500g of beef (or pork).
Two large potatoes, boiled and mashed
One large onion, diced finely
One or two green chilies, coarsely chopped (to taste)
1 tsp garlic-ginger paste
One tsp fennel seeds (for authentic South Indian flavour)
1 teaspoon garam masala powder
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon red chili powder, to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Add salt to taste.
2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander leaves
One tablespoon lime juice (for freshness)
Regarding Coating:
½ cup breadcrumbs (for crunch) and 1 large egg, beaten
Regarding Frying:
Oil for shallow-frying (vegetable or coconut oil for a more authentic flavor)
Directions:
First, get the beef ready.
First, you take a non-stick pan and heat it to medium. Add the minced beef, and cook until browned. Break up the meat into small pieces as it cooks to ensure even browning. Once the beef is finished, get rid of the excess water and allow it to cool.
Step 2: You have to sauté masala
In another pan, heat a tablespoon of oil and add the fennel. After a few seconds of spluttering add the finely chopped onions. Respect the onions, and sautée them until they are golden brown. Stir in the green chilies and ginger-garlic paste, and cook until fragrant. Then add the black pepper, garam masala, red chili powder, and turmeric powder. To activate the flavors, let the spices cook for a full minute after you give them a good stir.
Step 3: Mix the Components
When the spice mixture has cooled, add the steak to the sautéed spice mixture. And then stir in the lime juice, salt, coriander leaves and mashed potatoes. Mix everything well — you want all those ingredients evenly distributed! Taste the mixture, and season with more salt and pepper to your liking, if needed.
Fourth, Shape the Cutlets
As you like form small bits of batter into round or oval patties. Check them for whether they retain their form and are dense.
Coat the Cutlets in Step Five
After dipping each burger in the beaten egg, layer the breadcrumbs evenly all over it. It would produce a nice crispy texture on the cutlets when they are cooked.
Fry the cutlets in step six.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat for shallow frying. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the cutlets in the pan. They should be crispy and golden brown after 3–4 minutes of cooking on both sides. Remove them from the oil and set aside on paper towel to drain excess oil.
Step 7: Present and Savor
Serve alongside chutney or dip with your hot, crispy South Indian beef cutlets. Whether you’re having these cutlets as an appetizer, snack, or a side dish with your most loved dinner, they are perfect for any evenings.
Tips for the Perfect Kerala Beef Cutlet:
Minced Beef: Use freshly minced beef for the best flavor and texture. You could also use butcher-sourced ground beef, for the best quality.
Spices: You can adjust the spices as you like. For a spicier version, increase red chili powder or green chilies.
The combination is held together by the mashed potatoes. If the mixture seems too loose, you can stir in a little more breadcrumbs or mashed potato, to help it hold its shape.
For Frying: Coconut oil is an excellent oil for frying as it provides the authentic South Indian taste. But you could also use canola or vegetable oil.
