Mutton Keema Curry

'Mutton Keema Curry' in my own style for all the mutton lovers! Usually, mutton lovers cannot say no to this recipe and the beauty of this recipe is that it goes very well with most of the Indian breads. A convenient dish that is quick to cook and tastes great! Keema Pav, Keema Paratha, Keema Pulao and being a Bengali, my favorites Keema with Moidar Luchi (refined flour poori) & Keema with Moglai Porota taste just yummy! So, what are you waiting for? Let's take a look at the ingredients and the procedure to make this super delicious, super convenient and super simple recipe!

Ingredients:

1. Mutton Keema (Minced Mutton) - 1/2 kg.
2. Onion - 1 medium size
3. Ginger - 2 inch long ginger piece
4. Garlic - 10 big garlic cloves
5. Green chili - 3
6. Curd - 2 tablespoons
7. Turmeric - 1 teaspoon
8. Red chili powder - 1 teaspoon
9. Garam masala - 2 tablespoons
10. Rajwadi garam masala - 1 tablespoon
11. Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
12. Green cardamom - 10
13. Cloves - 4
14. Cinnamon - 1 inch long cinnamon stick
15. Bay leaf - 2
16. Refined oil - 4 tablespoons
17. Salt to taste

Okay, let's start!

• Wash the keema 
• Grind ginger-garlic-green chilies into a thick paste
• Heat the oil in the pressure cooker, once the oil is hot, add 5 green cardamom, cloves, cinnamon stick and bay leaves, let it splutter
• Now add chopped onions and fry till the edges are brown
• Add ginger-garlic-green chili paste to it and saute for a minute
• Now add mutton keema to it and mix it well with the masala
• In goes the curd and all the other spices one by one
• Cook for 10 minutes without covering it, stir it in every 2 minutes and do not leave unattended
• Once the keema and the masala are mixed properly and keema starts leaving oil, add a cup of water to it
• Now, take the remaining 5 green cardamom and grind it coarsely, add this to the keema curry
• Now pressure cook the keema curry in high flame for the first 5 minutes and then on low flame for another 5 to 7 minutes. I usually prefer tender mutton keema for this recipe so, 10 to 12 minutes of pressure cooking is good enough

Tasty mutton keema curry is ready to serve! Serve it hot with your choice of bread or rice. As I mentioned earlier, my favorite is Mutton Keema with Moidar Luchi!

Good Luck and enjoy the recipe!
