Ingredients

KEBABS:

1kg minced beef (you can also add minced lamb; no pork)

1 medium onion and 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger

1 heaped tablespoon garam masala (Indian spice blend)

salt, pepper

cayenne pepper (optional)

1 egg

plain breadcrumbs (as required)

coarse maize flour (polenta)

lemon slices

groundnut oil for frying

coriander leaves to garnish

TOMATO SALAD

firm tomatoes, very thinly sliced

onion, very thinly sliced

chopped green chillies (optional)

salt

lemon juice

Directions

In a large bowl, mix all ingredients

add breadcrumbs until you have a meat dough, which doesn't break or crumble (best to work the meat with your hands)

keep in a cool place for half an hour to allow all the flavours to blend

form patties, sausages or balls (or a mixture, which makes for a more interesting presentation)

Coat patties with polenta flour

pan-fry patties until well done

use paper towels to absorb excess fat

allow to cool

arrange on a serving platter, garnish with coriander leaves and lemon slices

For the salad, toss tomato and onion slices, sprinkle with salt and lemon juice, add chopped green chillies for the extra kick; this salad does not require oil

Serve with chapati or Lebanese bread (fresh baguette will also do nicely)
