2 eggs
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp ground coriander seeds
salt and black pepper, to taste

Method:
Combine the meat, bread, onions and eggs in a bowl. Add the spices and season well then mix thoroughly to combine before forming into 12 patties. Add the oil to a pan and use to fry the beef patties until nicely browned on both sides. Drain on kitchen paper then transfer to a fresh pan along with the beef stock. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
Whisk together the flour and water to a slurry and add to the pan. Stir to mix and cook until the sauce has thickened. Serve with rice.
