Ingredients
Ingredients
-
½ kg mutton keema (minced meat)
-
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)
-
1 teaspoon coriander powder
-
1 teaspoon garam masala powder
-
2 cups water
-
1 tablespoon coriander leaves (chopped, for garnish)
- 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.
