Gather @ground beef{700%g} and @fresh cilantro{0.5%bunch}.

Chop the @tomato{2} (saving a few slices to press on top later), chop the green chilies, and squeeze the chopped @onion{1} in a clean cloth to press out its moisture.

In a large bowl, knead the beef with the tomato, crushed @coriander seed{2%tbsp}, @green chili{3}, squeezed onion, @cornmeal{3%tbsp}, @egg{1} and cilantro until just combined — the mix should stay loose and studded, not smooth.

Divide into portions and slap each one between your palms into a wide, thin patty about the size of your hand; press a reserved tomato slice into the top of each.

Heat a shallow layer of fat in the wide skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

Slide in the patties and fry the first side 4–5 minutes, undisturbed, until deeply browned. ~{270%seconds}

Flip carefully and fry the second side another 4–5 minutes until the lace-edges crisp. ~{270%seconds}

Drain briefly and serve with naan, yogurt and sliced onion.
