Kheema Pattice / Minced Meat Patties

What can I say about this totally yummy dish??? Everyone in my family totally loves it. Its basically just a ball of mashed potatoes stuffed with minced meat, in this case kheema i.e. minced goat. This dish is very versatile and can be stuffed with peas, paneer, cheese, minced chicken etc.etc. My mom makes this whenever there are unexpected guests ( she usually has a stock of fish/meat in the freezer) or when there is very little kheema left. My mother-inlaw is very good at making this and I think even I am getting better day by day.
S loves this and I havent given this to my son yet, but I hope that some day my duckie would love it too.
Recipe
For the kheema
Minced meat 1/2 lb
1 large onion, minced
1 tsp ginger garlic pastealt chilli powderred 1/2 ticrmertsp tu
1/2 to taste
2 tsp garam masala...i like it spicy, reduce the quantity if you dont want spicy
1 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
salt to taste
oil for cooking

for the pattice
3 big boiled potatoes
salt to taste
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
1 cup bread crumbs
1 egg roughly beaten
1 cup coarse sooji
oil for frying

Preparation
Wash and drain the minced meat thoroughly. Marinate with salt, red chilli powder, ginger garlic paste, turmeric and garam masala. Mince the onion. In a kadai, heat the oil. When it is hot enough, add the onions and cook well. Add the marinated meat and mix well. Cook till the meat is competely done. Do not add any water while cooking. Infact dry up whatever "gravy" is created. Let the meat cool completely. When cooled it should look like separate granules and that means the water/gravy is evaporated. Set this aside and work on the potatoes now
Boil, peel and mash the large potatoes. Add salt, turmeric, red chilli powder ( i like it spicy, if you want less spicy dont add red chilli powder), bread crumbs and mix well. If the mass is too mushy to work with, put it in the refrigerator for 30 mins and work with it later.
Oil your hands before working with this so that the potato doesnt stick to the hands. Take a golf ball size of potato mix on your left palm and with your right hand fingers press the middle of the ball in such a way that a hollow is created. Work it a little so a little "bowl" forms. Fill this up with 1 tsp of minced meat. Now press the mouth of the bowl close together using the fingers. This entire procedure has to be done in quick succession so that it is easy to work with and there is no spillage. Make rest of the pattice in similar way. HEat up a frying pan with oil. Take the roughly beaten egg in one bowl and coarse sooji in another bowl. NOw dip one patty in egg and then immediately roll it in sooji and let it gently on the frying pan and fry it. Fry both sides till golden brown and crispy. Serve hot with ketchup/ mint chutney.
S loves eating this with bread and it serves as a complete meal for him.
