Instructions
1
Prep
Finely dice onion, grate garlic and ginger. Blend desiccated coconut, fresh coriander, mint, green chilli, garlic, lime juice, water, and salt until smooth; refrigerate. Measure spices. Beat egg. Set up three bowls with seasoned flour, beaten egg, and panko breadcrumbs.
2
Saute
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, cook 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and ginger for 1 minute. Add beef mince, cook 5–6 minutes, breaking it up, until browned and liquid evaporates.
3
Bloom
Add kashmiri chilli powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and malt vinegar. Stir 1–2 minutes until fragrant and the mixture is dry. Remove from heat, fold through fresh coriander. Spread on a plate to cool 10 minutes.
4
Build
Divide cooled beef mixture into 5 equal portions. Shape each into a 7cm oval croquette. Coat each in seasoned flour, then beaten egg, then panko, pressing firmly to adhere.
