Recipe for Dry Mince or Stuffing Mince
Ingredients
- 500 gms Fresh Mince either Beef, Mutton or Chicken(I've used Beef)
- 2 Large Onions(chopped fine)
- 1 Large Tomato(chopped fine)
- 4 Green Chillies(chopped fine)
- 8-10 Garlic cloves(chopped fine)
- 2 Tsp Ginger Garlic Paste(recipe given below)
- 2 Tsp Jeerem Meerem Powder(recipe given below) or any Garam Masala of your choice
- 1/2 Tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1 Tsp Kashmiri Chilly Powder
- 1.5 Tbsp Vinegar(I like my Mince vinegary, you can alter the quantity as per preference)
- 1(6gms) Veg Bouillon cube(optional)
- 1/2 Tsp Sugar
- 1 Tsp Ketchup(optional)
- 8-10 Sprigs Coander Leaves with stem(chopped fine. Please do not miss out on this ingredient. The flavour of Mince gets elevated once you add fresh chopped Coriander)
- 2 Tbsp Oil
- 1/2 Cup Water(if using Chicken Mince)
- Salt as per preference
Instructions
- In a wide skillet, add the Oil, Onions, Tomatoes, Chillies and Chopped garlic, Mix it well, put a lid on and place it on medium flame
- Once the onions start turning translucent, add the ginger garlic paste, mix it well and put the lid on
- Once the raw smell of the ginger garlic paste reduces, add the Mince, Turmeric Powder, Chilly Powder, Salt, Bouillon cube(if using), Sugar, Ketchup(if using), Water(if using chicken mince) and Vinegar. Mix it well and put the lid on and increase the flame
- After about 10-15 minutes, take off the lid and you will notice alot of juices have been released from the mince. Keep the lid open and allow the mince to boil on high flame
- As the juices start to thicken, add in the chopped coriander leaves, mix it well with the mince and check for Salt, Vinegar or Sugar/Ketchup
- Keep Tossing and stirring the mince so that it doesn't get stuck to the bottom of the skillet
- Once all the juices get completely evaporated, turn off the flame and your Mince is ready to use!
- This Dry Mince can be used for stuffing Bread Rolls, Potato Chops, Panrolls, etc.
- A useful Tip:- If using for stuffing Panrolls or Potato Chops, let the Mince rest till it cools down to room temperature and then stuff, specially if you're going to freeze the panrolls or potato chops to be eaten later.Also, using hot and sometimes even warm stuffings can cause the outer covering to soften and tear open
