Shami Kebabs#AlphabetChallenge

This is a quick & easy method of making Shami kebabs. In this boiled dal is used since it will make this easy and cooks quickly, and the flavor because of overcooking is lost if we use uncooked dal. These kebabs are so soft and delicious.
Serves 8
Makes around 15 to 16
Ingredients

1 Tablespoon Oil
½ kg Beef Mince - can use Lamb/Mutton/Chicken
125 Grams Chana Dal - soaked
1 Inch Big Piece Ginger - roughly chopped
5 Cloves Garlic - roughly chopped
6 - 8 Whole Red Chilies - do not break them into pieces
2 Medium Onion - sliced
3 Green chilies - finely chopped
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Cup Water 
Whole Spices
2 Cinnamon Sticks - make small pieces
10 Cloves
3 Brown Cardamoms
4 Green Cardamoms
1/2 Teaspoon Cumin Seeds
1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper corns
1 Bay Leaf
Other Ingredients
2 Tablespoons Coriander leaves- finely chopped
2 Tablespoons Mint leaves - finely chopped
For Frying
2 Eggs - lightly beaten
Oil as required
Method
In a pressure pan add the soaked and washed chana dal and cook till the dal is done but yet firm. Drain and keep aside.
In a same pressure pan heat oil add ginger, garlic and mince fry well on medium low flame, then add all whole spices, Kashmiri red chillies, onions, green chillies, add boiled gram dal, then fry well add salt , water and cover it with a lid and let it cook till the mince is done. Open the lid and dry up all the water. The mince should be dry and free of moisture. Cool it then grind it in small mixer jar little quantity at a time till it forms a smooth paste, Take it out on to bowl now feel for any whole spices ( because the some of the spices do not grind to a paste, however much time you will grind it) remove and discard them. Mix all well taste for salt, add finely coriander leaves and mix well.
Divide this into equal portions and roll it into a ball then flatten and make slightly thick kebabs. Smoothen the edges. Like wise make all and keep aside. At this stage you can freeze them ( see notes) .
For Frying 
Heat oil in broad frying pan.
In another bowl beat eggs add and pinch of salt and red chilly powder.
Dip each kebab in egg mixture, fry till golden on medium high flame on both sides. Serve with onion, tomato rings and sprinkle of mint leaves.
These are so soft and mouth melting, handle them gently while serving. Enjoy with green chutney or Sriracha sauce.
My Notes
At this stage you can freeze ( see notes) them in a single layer in a tray when they harden then store in a airtight container.
When you want to fry them., Dip them egg and shallow fry in hot oil. ( all is cooked so fry in hot oil) Do not thaw them or else it will disintegrate when you are frying.

Carnivore Meatzza- Cooked Meat Crust Pizza#Alphabet Challenge

Meatzza, a meat-crust pizza, is wonderfully flavorful and ideal for those on a low-carb or keto diet. With a delicious meaty base and lots of cheesy goodness, you won't miss the doughy crust! 
It's great for getting all those yummy pizza flavors without overdoing it on carbs. Anb if you flatten the meat well and bake it long enough, you can eat this meaty keto pizza with your hands, just like real pizza!

You'll only need a few simple ingredients to make this tasty keto pizza. Mince beef should be lean, 85 to 15 fat content. Do not use a leaner mix, or else the pizza would be very dry.
It’s important to make the meat crust as thin as possible. To spread the meat out, cover it with a piece of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to roll it very thin. The meat crust shrinks quite a bit as it bakes.

Ingredients
500 Grams Lean Beef Mince - cooked
2 Eggs
½ Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt
¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper Powder
½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
½ Teaspoon Dried Oregano
¼ Teaspoon Red Chilly Powder
For The Topping
½ Cup Sugar Free Pizza Sauce - I used Homemade
1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Or Pizza Cheese
Pepperoni Slices

Method 
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Line the baking pan with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
In a mixer jar or a food processor add all the ingredients and run it for a minute or two only. Remove this on a bowl and add 2 tablespoons of cheese, mix well.
On the prepared baking sheet, flatten the ground beef into a very thin, large circle – make it as thin as you can (⅛-inch thick is good), using my fingers to spread it evenly so that it covers the pan and forms a thin crust. Then cover it with a parchment paper and use a rolling pin to make it evenly on all sides.
Bake the meat crust in the preheated oven until fully cooked for about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and switch the oven to broil.
Spread the meat base with pizza sauce. Add the pepperoni slices. Then sprinkle the cheese evenly on top. Return to the oven and broil just until the cheese is melted and crisps up the meaty edges.
Allow the meatzza to rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
Slice it into 8 triangles and serve. 
This a delicious and filling pizza with hardly any carbs.

Keto Wiener Beef Schnitzel#EatTheWorld

This is a easy keto/low carb Schnitzel recipe for crispy fried and seasoned beef steak.

This is a perfect recipe for one who has gluten intolerance. Using almond meal in the place of breadcrumbs, I was able to create a delicious (and healthy!) substitute for breaded schnitzel. 
Serves One
Ingredients

300 Grams One Big Undercut Beef Steak - flatten
½ Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt
½ Teaspoon White or Black pepper powder
½ Teaspoon Mustard sauce
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce - Sugar Free
1 Egg
½ Cup Almond Flour - to coat
Olive Oil For Frying

Method 
Lay down a  strip of plastic wrap or cloth on your kitchen countertop. Place beef piece on the plastic wrap or cloth, cover with another strip of plastic or cloth so the meat is sandwiched between two layers. Use a mallet to flatten the steak until it's ¼ inch thick. Season with salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Refrigerate this for at least an hour or overnight.
When ready to fry, dip in beaten egg, then with almond flour. Pat the almond flour coating onto all visible sides of the steak, making sure there’s an even layer of coating over all the visible surfaces. Refrigerate the coated schnitzel for at least 30 minutes.
Pour oil into a skillet until it’s deep enough for shallow frying. Heat the oil slowly over medium. While oil is heating,
When the oil is hot (but not smoking or splattering), fry the coated steak until they are golden brown on both sides, for about 4 minutes per side.
After frying, set the schnitzel on a paper towel and pat them dry to soak off excess oil. Serve hot garnished with sliced cucumber and feta cheese with a sprinkle of black pepper powder.

Gluten Free Beef Empanadas#SundayFunday

These are delicious, gluten-free empanadas made with with my homemade gluten free flour blend. They flaky and buttery, you will love these. Gluten free pastry dough is difficult to work with. It tends to crack easily but feel free to patch up the cracks or tear. 

Makes 5 - 6 Empanadas
Ingredients
For Pastry Dough

300 Grams Homemade Gluten Free Bread Flour + extra for dusting
170 Grams Salted Butter - chilled butter cut into cubes
1 Egg- beaten
½ Tablespoon White Vinegar
1½ Tablespoons Ice water or as required to make a dough 
For The Beef Filing
2 Tablespoon Olive oil
500 Grams Boiled Beef Mince
1 Medium Onion - finely chopped
3 Cloves Garlic - finely chopped
½ Inch Garlic - finely chopped
1 Green Chillies - finely chopped
2 Teaspoons Heaped Red Chilly powder
Salt to Taste
¼ Teaspoon Garam Masala powder

Method
In the bowl, place homemade gluten free bread flour and add butter and using your fingers, fork or a pastry blender
blend into butter until the size of large peas.  
Pour the vinegar and beaten egg into the bowl and to combine with a fork, slowly add water a few teaspoon at a time. You may not need the full amount of water, depending on your climate.
When the mixture comes together in the bowl, stop mixing. To note gluten free pie crusts do better when they are slightly wetter (because the flour will soak up some of the liquid).
Divide the dough between two sheets of plastic wrap, flattening each into a round disk. Chill in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes. I used half of the dough the other half went into the freezer for another use.
Roll out the dough with a rolling pin onto a cling wrap or parchment paper cut into 5" round circle, moving constantly to avoid sticking.
Put a tablespoon or two of the beef filling and top it with shredded cheese in the center, double/fold over in a semi-circle, and seal the border pressing it with a fork.
Trim the edges using a small bowl or cutter and crimp the edges. Place the empanadas in a lined baking tray. Like wise make all and place the tray in the refrigerator and chill for about an hour or in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
Prick it with a fork. Brush the top with beaten egg ( this is optional).
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, until the edges start to brown.
Let it cool for 5 to 7 minutes. Carefully lift it from the remove the parchment paper. Serve warm.
Enjoy these flaky and gluten free empanadas.
