Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes with 1 tbsp salt until soft. Mash them really well and add salt, green chillies, cilantro, and black pepper powder. Mix well and keep aside.
  2. For the filling, heat oil in a pan and add the sliced onions. Sauté for 1–2 minutes, then add ginger garlic paste, salt, turmeric powder, and red chilli powder. Sauté for another 3–5 minutes.
  3. Add the minced meat and cook on high while constantly stirring for a few minutes. Pour in the water, cover, and cook on low flame for around 15 minutes or until the meat is tender.
  4. Uncover and cook on high until all the water evaporates and the qeema becomes dry. Add garam masala powder, cilantro, and lemon juice. Mix well and let it cool.
  5. Grease your hands lightly with oil. Take around 1/2–3/4 cup of the potato mixture and flatten it in your palm to create a well in the center. Add around 2 tsp of the qeema filling and seal it as shown in the video. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
  6. Beat the eggs with salt and black pepper powder. Dip each cutlet into the egg mixture and shallow fry on a medium-high flame until golden brown on both sides.
