Kheema

Spicy Kheema Masala – A Flavourful Minced Meat Dish

Ingredients – For the Ground Masala

12 dried Kashmiri red chillies

1 tbsp cumin seeds

¼ tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp pepper powder

1 tsp garam masala powder

1 tbsp ginger garlic paste

1 medium onion

Just enough water to grind

Grind all the above ingredients with a little water to make a smooth, flavourful paste.

Ingredients – For the Kheema

1 kg mince (kheema) ( mutton or beef mince)

4 onions, finely chopped

½ cup finely chopped coriander leaves

3–4 green chillies, slit or as per taste

Salt to taste

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Water as required

Method

Heat a pan and sauté the finely chopped onions until they turn lightly brown.

Add the prepared ground masala paste and about 2 cups of water. Cook on a medium flame, stirring occasionally until the masala cooks well and releases its aroma.

Add the mince and salt to taste. Mix well so the mince is nicely coated with the masala. Cook for about 2 minutes.

Add the slit green chillies and a little water if required. Cover and cook until the mince is well done and tender.

Finally add 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar and the finely chopped coriander leaves.

Allow it to cook for another 10 minutes so the flavours blend beautifully.

Serving Suggestion

Serve hot with pav and sliced onions for a comforting and satisfying meal.
