Ingredients:

900g minced (ground) beef
75g breadcrumbs (preferably rye bread)
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 eggs
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp ground coriander seeds
salt and black pepper, to taste
60ml olive oil
400ml beef stock
1 tbsp flour
1 tbsp cold water
250ml natural yoghurt
1 green chilli, halved
2 bayleaves
1 tsp ground cumin seeds
1 tsp ground coriander seeds
2 tsp toasted masala

Method:

Combine the meat, bread, onions and eggs in a bowl. Add the spices and season well then mix thoroughly to combine before forming into 12 patties. Add the oil to a pan and use to fry the beef patties until nicely browned on both sides. Drain on kitchen paper then transfer to a fresh pan along with the beef stock. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes.

Whisk together the flour and water to a slurry and add to the pan along with the green chilli and bayleaves. Stir to mix and cook until the sauce has thickened. Now stir in the spices and the yoghurt. Bring back to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes more. Serve hot, on a bed of rice
