Croquettes

1 kg minced mutton or beef
2 onions, cut fine
2 red chillies (dried)
4 green chillies, de-seeded
10 cloves
1 inch piece ginger
8 cloves garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
2 slices bread
2 eggs
1 cup water
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 cup oil for frying


Preparation : 

Mix the meat, onion, chillies, cloves, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper with 1 cup of water. 

Put in a pan on moderate heat and stir cook till all the water has been absorbed and the meat is dry. 

Grind meat fine in a blender. Soak the bread in water for 5 minutes. Squeeze dry and add to the meat along with 1 egg, lightly beaten. 


Form the meat into cocktail-type sausage shapes. Beat the remaining egg and dip each croquette into the beaten egg, then into the breadcrumbs. 

Heat the oil in a frying pan on a moderate flame and fry the croquettes to a golden brown color. Cool. You should get about 30 croquettes.
