Flaxseed is a great egg substitute for binding.

Boil potatoes until tender, then mash and set aside.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté onions until translucent.

Add garlic, ginger, and green chilies; cook until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in minced meat and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Season with cumin powder, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper; mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice; let cool.

Form mashed potatoes into small patties, about the size of your palm.

Place a spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of each patty and mold the potato around it to encase the filling.

Dip each patty in beaten egg, then coat with bread crumbs.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the patties until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
