- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped

- 1/2 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice

In a food processor, combine ground lamb, garam masala, ginger, garlic, cilantro, green chili, egg, and salt. Process until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly sticky, about 2-3 minutes.

With oiled hands, shape the mixture into small bite-sized patties, about 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined tray. Chill in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up.

Meanwhile, make the mint chutney: blend mint leaves, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Set aside.

Set up a steamer over simmering water. Lightly oil the steamer basket and arrange the patties in a single layer without touching. Steam for 12-14 minutes until cooked through.

Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steamed patties for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.

Serve hot with mint chutney on the side.
