Dry mutton keema- spicy minced mutton cooked with masala

Introduction:

Mutton Keema is a very delicious and flavorful dish that is an integral part of South Asian cuisine. It is made with minced mutton and a combination of spices that make the taste truly irresistible. The texture of keema is soft, and when it is cooked with tomatoes, onions, and traditional spices, the flavor becomes even richer.

This recipe is usually served with roti, naan, or paratha for breakfast.
Today, we will prepare an authentic Mutton Keema that is perfect in taste and made with simple, everyday ingredients.

 Dry mutton keema served hot with naan or rice

Ingredients:

• Mutton keema (minced meat) – 500 grams

• Onions – 3 medium (finely chopped)

• Tomatoes – 3 medium (finely chopped)

• Ginger-garlic paste – 1 tablespoon

• Green chilies – 2 (finely chopped)

• Fresh coriander – 1/2 cup (finely chopped)

• Fresh mint – 2 tablespoons (optional, finely chopped)

Spices:

• Salt – to taste
 
• Red chili powder – 1 1/2 teaspoons

• Turmeric powder – 1/2 teaspoon 

• Coriander powder – 1 1/2 teaspoons

• Garam masala powder – 1/2 teaspoon

• Shahi jeera (caraway seeds) – 1 teaspoon

• Bay leaf – 1

• Cinnamon stick – 1 small piece

• Black peppercorns – 5 to 6

• Cloves – 3 to 4

• Oil – 1/2 cup

Step by step method:

1. Cooking the mutton keema:

Wash the minced mutton 2 to 3 times. Then place it in a pressure cooker along with ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, and salt. Pressure cook for 1-2 whistles until the meat is tender.

2. Frying the onions:

In a heavy-bottomed pan or wok, heat the oil. Once hot, add the chopped onions and fry over medium heat until golden brown.  The golden onions form the base of the gravy,  so do not skip this step. 

3. Adding ginger garlic paste and tomatoes: 

Once the onions are golden, add the ginger garlic paste. Sauté for 1 to 2 minutes to remove the raw smell and enhance the taste. Now, add the chopped tomatoes and mix well. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes until the tomatoes soften and the oil separates from the mixture. 

4. Tempering the whole spices:            

Add the bay leaf, cinnamon stick, black peppercorns, cloves, and Shahi jeera (caraway seeds). Saute for about 30 seconds. This step will make the keema wonderfully aromatic. 

5. Adding the powdered spices:

Now add salt, red chili powder,  turmeric powder and coriander powder. Mix well and cook on medium flame for 3 to 4 minutes so that the spices blend nicely with the base.

6. Finishing and simmering: 

Add the cooked mutton keema to the pan and mix it with the masala. Finally, add chopped green chilies, fresh coriander, and a few mint leaves. Cover and let it simmer on low flame (dum) for a few minutes so that all the flavors are absorbed. 

Tips:

1. Bhunai time:  When frying the keema with spices, cook it for at least 8 to 10 minutes on medium flame. This step doubles the flavor of the dish. 

2. Choosing tomatoes: Use ripe red tomatoes so that the gravy gets a rich color and taste.   

3.  Spice level: Adjust the amount of red chili powder and green chilies according to your taste. If you prefer it spicier, add a few extra green chilies.

4. Resting time: After the dum (simmering), keep the keema covered for 5 minutes. This allows the spices and flavors to fully absorb into the meat.

5. Lemon juice: If you like, you can add some juice at the end to enhance the taste.

Conclusion:   

Mutton keema is a rich, flavorful, and aromatic dish that showcases the authentic taste of South Asian cuisine. The blend of fresh/lean minced meat, perfectly cooked onions, tomatoes, and spices makes every bite delicious and satisfying. This dish is very versatile — you can enjoy it with roti, naan, paratha, or plain rice. Slow simmering ensures that all the flavors are well infused into the keema, giving it its special taste and aroma.
 
If you follow this recipe, even beginners can easily make restaurant-style Mutton Keema at home. Be it special breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this dish will surely impress your family and guests. serve it hot, garnish it with fresh coriander or mint, and enjoy the perfect balance of spices, aroma, and tenderness in every bite.
