Ingredients

  • • 500g finely minced mutton
  • • 2 tbsp raw papaya paste

  • • 3 tbsp roasted chana dal flour
  • • 3 tbsp ghee, for shallow frying

Preparation Steps

1
Phase 1

Knead the mutton with the papaya paste, ginger-garlic paste, spices, and salt; refrigerate 2 hours so the papaya tenderizes the meat.

2
Phase 2

Pound or pulse the mixture with the crushed fried onions to a smooth, paste-like mince; rest 30 minutes.

3
Phase 3

With wet palms, form 2cm-thick round patties.

4
Phase 4

Shallow-fry in the ghee on medium-low heat 3-4 minutes per side until browned outside and meltingly soft inside.

Phase 5

Serve Lucknowi-style with ulte tawe ka paratha and green chutney.
