For Coating and Frying:

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Kebab Mixture:

– In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced beef, chopped onion, ginger paste, garlic paste, green chilies, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder, turmeric powder, and salt.
– Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
– Add the lightly beaten egg and breadcrumbs to the mixture. Mix again to achieve a smooth and pliable texture.
– Cover the mixture and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

2. Prepare the Boiled Eggs:

– While the kebab mixture is resting, boil the eggs until they are hard-boiled. Once done, peel the eggs and set them aside.

3. Shape the Kebabs:

– Take a portion of the kebab mixture and flatten it on the palm of your hand.
– Place a boiled egg in the center and carefully wrap the kebab mixture around the egg, ensuring it is evenly coated. Smooth out any cracks or gaps.
– Repeat this process for the remaining eggs.

4. Coat the Kebabs:

– Dip each wrapped egg in the lightly beaten egg, then roll it in breadcrumbs to coat evenly. Ensure the kebabs are well-coated for a crispy texture.

5. Deep Fry the Kebabs:

– Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadai over medium heat.
– Carefully lower the coated kebabs into the hot oil. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
– Remove the kebabs using a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels.

6. Serve:

– Slice the Beef Nargis Kebabs in half to reveal the beautiful cross-section.
