Golden-brown pan-fried patties

Mix well so the flavors spread evenly throughout the mixture.

👉 If you want stronger flavor, sauté the onions lightly before adding them.

🥚 Step 3: Bind the Mixture

Add:

• 1 egg
• Flour or breadcrumbs (start with 2 tablespoons)

Mix until the dough becomes firm enough to shape. It should not stick too much to your hands.

👉 If it feels too soft, add a little more flour or breadcrumbs.
👉 If it feels too dry, add a small splash of milk or another egg yolk.

✋ Step 4: Shape the Patties

1. Take a small portion of the mixture.
2. Roll it into a ball.
3. Gently flatten it into a round patty (about 1–2 cm thick).

You can make them:

• Round (classic burger style)
• Oval (homemade style)
• Mini bite-size (for snacks or kids)

👉 Try to keep them even in size so they cook uniformly.

🔥 Step 5: Heat the Pan

1. Place a frying pan over medium heat.
2. Add enough oil to lightly cover the bottom of the pan.
3. Wait until the oil is hot but not smoking.

👉 Test: Drop a tiny piece of mixture—if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.

🍳 Step 6: Fry Until Golden

1. Carefully place patties into the pan without overcrowding.
2. Fry for 3–5 minutes on one side until golden brown.
3. Flip gently and cook the other side for another 3–5 minutes.

👉 Keep heat medium—not too high, or the outside will burn before the inside cooks.

🧻 Step 7: Drain and Rest

Once cooked:

• Place patties on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
• Let them rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.

This helps them become crispier on the outside.

💡 Pro Tips for Perfect Patties

• Don’t make the mixture too wet—this is the #1 reason patties break.

• Use medium heat for even cooking.
• Flip only once to avoid breaking.
• Add breadcrumbs for extra crisp texture.
