    Title: Shami Kebab
    Categories: Indian
    Yield: 4 Servings

    500 g Minced beef/lamb
    2 ts Coriander
    1 ts Turmeric
    1/2 ts Chili powder
    1 pn Cinnamon
    1 Black cardamom pod;
    - seeds only, ground
    2 Cloves; ground
    1 tb Gram flour
    1 ts Salt; up to 2 ts
    1/2 c Yoghurt (optional) *
    Oil; for frying, use
    - as much as you need
    1 Onion; chopped into very
    - small pieces
    2 cl Garlic; ground into paste
    Fresh ginger (1/2");
    - ground into paste
    Lemon juice squirt

    * The yogurt adds a lot of liquid, so you may need to cook it longer
    or add more gram flour.

    Mix meat, all spices, and yoghurt (if you want yoghurt).

    Fry onions until light brown, add ginger and garlic paste, keep frying
    briefly.

    Mix meat mixture with fried onion, garlic, and ginger, and cook for
    10 to 15 minutes, until most liquid has evaporated.

    Let mixture cool, add squirt of lemon juice, and knead well.

    Form into small balls and fry by pressing balls into thin, round
    patties in the frying pan.

    Notes:

    * I heard the patties can be coated with egg and bread crumbs before
    frying, but mine fell apart way too easily.
    * If there is too much liquid left in the mixture, the patties will
    fall apart too easily.
