This Beef cutlet recipe specifically reminds me of my childhood, when my Mom used to make occasionally. It has has been one of my favorites in my book of recipes for years since I’ve been away from home.
It can be a light afternoon snack, appetizer or a side. They are best when served hot, and you can’t resist the aroma that circulates from the kitchen to the entire home.
Preparation time: 15 minutes

Egg – 1
Salt – 1/2 tsp
Bread Crumbs – 1/2 cup or as required (optional, see notes)
Directions
1. Wash the minced beef in a strainer and squeeze out all the liquid possible. Transfer it into a separate container and prepare the rest of the ingredients.
2. Combine onion, ginger, garlic, green chili, pepper powder, garam masala powder, salt.
Add 1 whole egg.
3. Mix together everything. Make these into little patties with even thickness.
