Anelia's Cutlets

Directions

1. 1
   Put the beef, 1 egg and all the spices (garam masala, nutmeg, white and black pepper, cumin and oregano and salt) in a bowl and knead well; if the mixture becomes too watery add some crumbled bread, but be careful not to put too much.
2. 2
   Heat the frying fat in a pan or fryer.
3. 3
   Take from the mixture balls the size of a large walnut (1 in diameter), roll them into sticks and then flatten into ovals approximately 1/5 thick.
4. 4
   Pour the breadcrumbs in a bowl or plate and add some dried oregano or thyme, some black or white pepper (or both) and some nutmeg.
5. 5
   Beat the rest of the eggs in a bowl; you might dilute them with water or milk but I dont do it.
6. 6
   Roll each cutlet in the breadcrumbs, then in the eggs and then again in the breadcrumbs before you put them in the hot oil.
7. 7
   Fry until golden brown then take out and put on absorbing paper for a few minutes to drain the excess fat.
8. 8
   Serve hot or at least warm (although i like them cold too).
