You can also get it from market but do not wash it too much so that fat is not drained .  Drain out all water  in case you wash minced meat  Add one egg , one tablespoon oil  , salt , red chili powder and garam masala in minced meat and mix well .  Keep it aside for one hour  Finely chop one onion  ,  coriander leaves and green chilies . Add in mince meat  Add
