👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Fry the diced potatoes until golden brown and tender. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with zucchini, pumpkin/squash, and bell pepper, frying each vegetable separately until tender and lightly browned. Drain each batch on paper towels.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Ensure vegetables are dry before frying to prevent splattering. Do not overcrowd the pan. - 2
In the same skillet (drain most of the oil, leaving about 2 tbsp), add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add the ground meat to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
- 4
Stir in coriander, cumin, turmeric, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Toast the spices briefly to enhance their flavor. - 5
Add all the fried vegetables back into the skillet with the meat mixture. Gently toss to combine everything. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Be gentle when tossing to avoid mashing the fried vegetables. - 6
In a separate non-stick skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Use a good quality non-stick pan for easy egg frying. - 7
To serve, spoon the Kafteji mixture onto plates and top each serving with a fried egg. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
