Title: "HAMBURGER" / GROUND MEAT BALTI
Categories: Indian, Balti, Meats
Yield: 4 servings
2 lb Ground meat (hamburger, or
-other mince)
3 T Vegetable oil
4 Garlic cloves, chopped
8 oz Onion, chopped
1 T Tomato paste
4 T Balti masala paste
1 t Garam masala (optional)
1 T Fresh coriander leaves,
-chopped
Stir-fry the minced meat in the wok for 8-12 minutes. Strain off and save
the liquid. Set the meat aside.
Add the oil to the wok and stir-fry the garlic very quickly: then add
onion, reduce heat and stir-fry for 10 minutes, until translucent. Add
Balti paste and garam masala (if you're using it). Raise heat again and
stir-fry for another few minutes. Then add the mince to the mixture in
the wok and continue stir-frying a few minutes more.
Lower heat and simmer uncovered for 35-40 minutes. Every now and then,
add some of the reserved liquid to help keep the mixture from sticking.
When cooked, add coriander leaves to taste. Serve.
