Keema Bhajiya

🇮🇳 Indian

Rain-day frying at its best: keema bhajiya — crackling outside, soft within, gone before the chai cools. About 30 minutes from fridge to table.

Prep 15 min Cook 15 min Serves 3 Easy

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
  • Asafoetida1/4 tsp
  • Gram Flour1 cup
  • Ajwain1/4 tsp
  • Red Chili Powder1 tsp
  • Rice Flour2 tbsp
  • Ground Lamb400 g

Optional extras

  • Green Chili1, chopped
  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp
  • Chaat Masala1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk the besan, rice flour and spices with water into a thick, clinging batter — it should coat the back of a spoon.

  2. 2

    Fold in the ground lamb so every piece is covered; rest 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Drop into medium-hot oil in small clusters and fry until the edges ruffle and turn deep gold.

  4. 4

    Fry once more on higher heat for 20 seconds if you like them extra crisp.

  5. 5

    Drain, dust with chaat masala and eat immediately — fritters have no tomorrow.

Chef's tip

One test fritter first; adjust salt and thickness before the whole batch.
