Where to find ingredients
For the best result, visit a trusted local butcher (gosht shop) and ask specifically for lean beef to be minced three times for a smooth texture. Dark bread can often be found in high-end bakeries or premium supermarkets in larger cities. Fresh spring onions and coriander are widely available in local sabzi mandis or vegetable stalls. If traditional dark rye bread is unavailable, opt for a dense, whole-grain sourdough as a local alternative.
Preparation method
- Place the finely minced beef in a mixing bowl
- Toss in the finely chopped onion
- Season well with salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- Drizzle the olive oil over the beef mixture
- Mix everything thoroughly until the seasonings are well incorporated
- Spread the meat mixture evenly over slices of dark, crusty bread
- Garnish with a generous sprinkle of spring onions and coriander before serving
Observations
This dish is a popular pick for gatherings, traditionally served atop slices of dark bread to perfectly balance the rich, savoury profile of the seasoned raw minced meat.
