Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons oil

  • 1 onion (finely chopped)

  • 2 tomatoes (finely chopped)

  • 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste

  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder

  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder (Kasturi karam preferred)

  • Sautéing the Base:
    Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pot. Add finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
  • Adding Tomatoes and Spices:
    Add the chopped tomatoes to the browned onions. Stir in the ginger-garlic paste, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Sauté the mixture well until the oil starts to separate.
  • Cooking the Keema:
    Add the cleaned mutton keema to the pot. Fry the keema along with the masala until it turns brown and is nicely coated with the spices.
  • Simmering:
    Pour in 1½ cups of water. Cover the pot with a lid and let the keema cook on a medium flame until tender. You can adjust the water depending on whether you prefer a dry or slightly gravy-based dish.
  • Final Touch:
    Once the keema is cooked, remove the lid. Sprinkle garam masala and turmeric powder over the cooked keema. Let it simmer uncovered for another 3 minutes.
  • Garnishing:
    Finally, add chopped coriander leaves for a burst of freshness.
