Mutton Keema Masala

Last night I googled for some mutton keema recipes, and found this one. As soon as I saw this recipe just set up my mind to make it on this weekend. Brought the ingredients required for making this recipe and turned it into reality, using my own version, and found it as a perfect accompaniment for  my masala kulcha that was made for dinner.

This recipe serves 4 and all you need are-

• Mutton keema , i.e. minced goat meat, 250 gm
• Potato, 1 large, cubed ( You may omit potato, if you don't want them)
• Onion, 2 large
• Ginger, 1"
• Garlic cloves, 6
• Green chillies, 4
• Tomato, sliced, 1/2 of a whole tomato
• Capsicum, 1/2 of a whole capsicum
• Coriander powder, 3 tsp
• Garam masala powder, 2 tsp
• Kashmiri red chilli powder, 2 tsp
• Turmeric powder, 2 tsp
• Chopped coriander leaves, 1 handfull
• Mustard oil, 4 tbsp
• Milk, 1/2 cup
• Butter, 1 tbsp
• Cumin seeds, 1 tsp
• Whole dry red chilli, 2
• Bay leaf, 1
• Black Cardamom, 1
• Cinnamon stick , 1"
• Crushed peppercorns, 1 tbsp
• Salt to taste
• sugar, 2 tsp to balance the acidity of the dish

Methods:

This is a quick to make recipe as you can do all the stuff in a pressure cooker. In a pressure cooker heat oil and shallow fry cubed potatoes for 2 mins. They do not need to turn soft as they will be cooked later under pressure.

Shift them aside of the pan add temper the oil with bay leaf, cumin seeds, cinnamon, cardamom and whole dry red chillies.

Saute sliced onion and tomatoes for a minute, add a pinch of salt. After 2 mins add sliced capsicum. Saute tyhem for 30 secs. Blend ginger, garlic, garam masala powder, coriander powder. Add the blended spices, and slit green chillies in the pan. Saute for a 2 mins. Add 4 tbsp water, salt and sugar and wait till the oil oozes out.

Add minced meat and saute in spices for 3-4 mins. Then add milk and crushed peppercorns, mix well and close the lid. Cook with three whistles. After the pressure releases completely open the lid. If you find it too dry then add some more milk or water and cook until it turns out to be a fine gravy. Mix chopped coriander leaves and 1 chopped green chillies along with butter.

Serve with bread, paratha, naan, kulcha.
