Start by gathering the ingredients for the patties.

Use about 250 grams of minced beef, one tomato, one medium-sized onion, and one bunch of parsley.

Add cumin, sweet paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Mix all the ingredients together, finely chopping the vegetables to blend well with the meat.

Add flour to bind the mixture, about a tablespoon at a time, until the right consistency is achieved.

Shape the mixture into patties, preferably in an oval shape and on the thinner side.

Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat.

Shallow fry the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through.

Remove patties from the oil and let them cool down before serving.
