Ingredients
Croquette Mixture
- 500 grams ground beef preferably organic
- 150 grams yellow onion finely chopped
- 2 pcs green chilies finely diced, adjust for spice level
- 15 grams ginger-garlic paste freshly made if possible
- 5 grams Goan masala homemade or store-bought
- 2 large eggs large, free-range
- 1 cup breadcrumbs freshly made
- ½ cup flour all-purpose
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- 1 pinch black pepper freshly ground
Frying
- 1 liter vegetable oil for deep frying
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and golden, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook while stirring to break any lumps, until the meat is browned, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the Goan masala, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes for the spices to blend well. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs. Set aside. Place breadcrumbs and flour in separate shallow bowls. Prepare your workstation by lining these three bowls.
- Once the beef mixture is cool, take small portions and shape them into small logs or oval patties.
- Dredge each piece first in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure an even coating.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 180°C (350°F). Fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
- Drain excess oil by placing fried croquettes on paper towels.
Notes
For added depth, use smoked paprika in place of Goan masala for a smoky twist. Serve with lemon wedges and a fresh mint chutney for an extra zing.
