3 tbsp of malt vinegar
2 onions chopped
1tbsp oil
1/2 tsp of sugar
Salt to taste
1 tbsp of chopped cilantro or fresh coriander leaves(optional)

Preparation:
Heat oil and add ginger-garlic paste and chopped onions. Fry onions till brown. Then add the masala powder. Next, add the mince, vinegar, and salt. Stir well and cook till mince is well done. Takes about 15 mins. Lastly add the sugar and the chopped cilantro or fresh coriander leaves(optional) . Stir once more and turn off the flame.

To make the potato chops: You will need 5-6 large potatoes-boiled and mashed with salt. Adding a little salt and butter to the mash gives it a smooth and creamy texture. And it sure makes the chops tastier too!

Take sufficient amount of mashed potato to form a ball of about 4 inches in diameter. Make a small well in the centre of the ball and fill it with some cooked mince. Close the ball and flatten it slightly. Then dip the chop in beaten egg and coat it with semolina or bread crumbs. Pan fry  the chop on both sides. And serve hot with tomato ketchup or coconut chutney.

You can also fry the potato chop without coating it semolina or breadcrumbs.
