Ingredients

500 g	Beef mince (Main)
1 tsp	Fresh ginger, finely grated
1 tsp	Crushed garlic
1	Small red onion, coarsely grated or very finely chopped
1	Green chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
¾ cup	Coriander leaves, chopped
¼ cup	Mint leaves, chopped
¼ cup	Tomatoes, chopped
1 Tbsp	Besan (chickpea flour)
1	Egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp	Garam masala
1 tsp	Coriander seeds, crushed
1 dash	Oil, for pan-frying

Directions

1. Mix all the ingredients together except the oil for pan-frying. Divide the mixture into about 16 balls and, using wet hands, press each into a patty.

3. Serve patties with your favourite chutney, salad leaves and grilled bread.
