Ingredients:
1 lb Lean ground beef
1/2 c Dhal or dried split peas
1 ts Cumin seed
1 1 in cinnamon stick
6 Whole cloves
1 1 in ginger root; peeled
8 Cloves garlic
2 ts Chili powder
1/2 ts Salt (optional)
3 c Water
1 Onion; chopped
1/3 c Ciliantro; chopped
3 Green chilies; chopped
1/2 c Liquid egg substitute
Preparation Time: 1.5 hours
Method:
1-Soak dhal (or dried peas) in water for 10 minutes, then drain. Put 3 cups water in a large skillet, and boil the ground beef, dhal or peas, and next 7 ingredients approximately 45 minutes, or until all liquid evaporates.
2-When all of the liquid has evaporated, allow mixture to cool slightly. Add liquid egg substitute. Then grind the meat mixture to a fine paste. This can be done in a blender or food processor, the liquid egg substitute providing the moisture.
3-After the mixture has been made into paste, add the chopped onion, coriander leaves n chillies.
4-Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil, or spray with noncaloric spray to prevent sticking.
5-Measure 1/4-cup portions onto the cookie sheet and shape them into patties. Bake in 350 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until set.
6-Remove carefully from pan with spatula. Use a grill on a hot summer day!
