Ingredients
For the Mixture:
- Minced Meat (Chicken or Mutton): 250 grams (finely ground)
- Onion: 1 medium (finely chopped)
- Ginger-Garlic Paste: 1 tablespoon
- Green Chilies: 1-2 (finely chopped, optional)
- Fresh Coriander: 2 tablespoons (finely chopped)
- Gram Flour (Besan) or Cornstarch: 2 tablespoons (for binding)
- Egg: 1 whole (helps keep them soft)
Spices & Seasoning:
- Salt: To taste
- Black Pepper Powder: ½ teaspoon
- Cumin Powder: ½ teaspoon
- Garam Masala: ½ teaspoon
- Lemon Juice: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- Prepare the Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced meat, chopped onions, ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, and fresh coriander. Mix well.
- Add Binding & Spices: Add the salt, black pepper, cumin powder, garam masala, and lemon juice. Crack the egg into the mixture and add the gram flour. Knead the mixture thoroughly with your hands until it becomes smooth and sticky.
- Shape the Vouchers: Lightly grease your palms with oil. Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into smooth, bite-sized round balls or slightly flattened oval shapes.
- Setup the Steamer: Bring water to a boil in a steamer or a deep pot with a colander on top. Grease the steamer tray lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
- Steam: Arrange the meat vouchers on the tray, leaving a little space between each. Cover tightly and steam on medium-high heat for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are completely cooked through and firm.
- Serve: Carefully remove them and serve hot with fresh mint-coriander chutney or a tangy sauce.
