\"\"Little balls of minced meat flavoured with fresh mint and fried in a batter.<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/p>\n

For the meat mixture:<\/p>\n

500g lean minced meat (lamb or beef)<\/p>\n

1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
\n1 large egg
\n1 tsp salt
\n1-1\u00bd tsp black pepper
\n2 green chillies, chopped
\n1 bunch of fresh mint, chopped<\/p>\n

For the batter:
\n2 large eggs
\n1 cup milk
\nSalt and pepper to taste
\n1 to 1\u00bd cups self-raising lour to make the batter<\/p>\n

Whisk the eggs and milk with the salt and pepper. Gradually add the flour to make a batter<\/p>\n

Method
\nMix all the meat ingredients together. From into little balls, approximately a tablespoon full. Refrigerate for an hour.
\nIn the meantime make your batter. Heat enough oil in a pan to semi deep frying. Dip and roll the balls into the batter to coat completely. Fry the balls dipped in he batter over medium heat to ensure the meat cook through thoroughly. About 10 minutes turning now and then so that the whole kremenatjies is baked through and it has a golden colour on all sides.<\/p>\n

Adjust frying time according to the type of meat you are using. Meat will take a bit longer to cook. However, you may want to precook your meat, if you\u2019re using to ensure the meat is soft before dipping in the batter to fry. Spice your meat with extra spices, braai spice, garlic etc for extra flavour. For best results kremenajies should be eaten warm and preferably as soon as possible after frying.<\/p>\n
