Method

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, fry the ginger, onions, garlic and ground cumin for approximately 3 minutes until the onion is soft but not brown, then tip into a large bowl to cool. Add the peas and mix together with the beef, egg, breadcrumbs, cooked onions and season with a little sea salt and black pepper. Mix well and add in the finely chopped red chilli, coriander and mint. Shape the mixture into small patties, heat the remaining oil in the frying pan and fry the patties until cooked through.

Tips: Serve with boiled basmati rice; as a starter with a yoghurt and mint dip; cold as a lunchbox item or part of a picnic.
