Method
- 1 Mix the ground beef with chopped onions, cornstarch, eggs, coarsely ground coriander powder, and chili powder.
- 2 Refrigerate for 1 hour, then press into flat, round pieces only 8 mm thick; chapli means slipper, so the cake must be large and thin like that.
- 3 Press two slices of tomato onto the surface of each piece of sausage and gently press them together.
- 4 Pan-fry with a thin layer of oil for 4 minutes, bottom side down. Do not flip too soon as the patties are very thin and easily broken.
- 5 Flip once, fry for another 3 minutes, then squeeze lemon juice over it and serve with flatbread.

Charcoal grill 40 min
Grill over charcoal for 3 minutes on each side, lining the grill with perforated aluminum foil because the meatloaf is thin and will fall through the gaps.
