Preparing the base

Combine 100-200 grams of your chosen base (ground meat, legumes, or finely chopped vegetables) with spices, herbs, and 1-2 beaten eggs in a large bowl. Mix until well combined.

Forming the patties

Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each into a patty. If the mixture is too wet, you may add some breadcrumbs or flour to achieve the desired consistency.

Coating

Prepare a shallow dish with 50-100 grams of breadcrumbs or flour. Coat each patty evenly with the coating, shaking off excess.

Frying

Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry the patties for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Serving

Serve your fried patties hot, paired with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a larger meal.
