Ingredients

Ginger Garlic Paste1 tsp
Saltto taste
Onion2, finely sliced
Green Chili2, finely chopped
Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
Vegetable Oilfor deep frying
Potato3 medium, cubed
Asafoetidaa pinch
Gram Flour1 cup
Breadcrumbs1 cup, chopped
Ajwain1/2 tsp
Rice Flour2 tbsp
Ground Lamb500 g

Instructions

1
Combine the ground lamb with the potato and the flours; add water slowly — the batter should coat a spoon, not run off it.
2
Warm the oil till a test droplet sizzles and floats at once; too cool and everything goes greasy.
3
Slide the batter in with two spoons — rough, craggy shapes fry crispest.
4
Fry till deep gold, flipping once, then lift out and drain on a rack — paper towels steam the bottoms soft.
5
Eat immediately — a fritter's glory is measured in minutes.

Chef's tip

Taste as you go — chili heat, salt and sourness should all lift each other, not fight.
