Traditional Iranian کتلت kotlets are quick, delicious pan-fried meat patties that are full of flavor and so easy to make. They're perfect for a family lunch or dinner, and they also pack wonderfully for picnics. Once you try kotlet, they're sure to become a staple in your home.
Ingredients
Serves 6-8
-1 1/2 pounds ground meat (lamb or beef)
-2 large potatoes, cooked, peeled, and grated
-1 large onion, grated
-1 large egg, lightly whisked
-1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
-A pinch of red pepper (optional)
-Salt and pepper, to taste
-1/2 cup dried bread crumbs
-Oil for frying
Method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, grated onion, grated potatoes, eggs, turmeric, salt, pepper, and red pepper. Mix well by hand until fully combined.
- Take a handful of the mixture and shape it into an oval or round patty. Dip each patty in breadcrumbs, coating both sides evenly, and shake off any excess.
- Heat about 4 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the patties in batches until golden brown on both sides.
Enjoy!
hi there, quick question...what do you mean by grind? Put in food processor? Shred or grate? Also, do you add the juice rendered by the onion?

I have tried with grind nucookedpotatoes,it is also very good ,beside it doesn,t break as easily as with cooked potatoes.
ReplyDeleteRecently I find out that I can bake kotlets in the oven on a slightly greased baking sheet. No frying! They come out moist and tasty, about 30-40 minutes in the oven, I turned them once in the middle.
