Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean mutton mince
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large, finely chopped Onion
- 4 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 inch, grated Ginger
- 1 finely chopped Green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 2 medium, pureed Tomatoes
- 1 cup Green peas
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup, chopped Cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add chopped green chili, turmeric powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and garam masala. Stir well and sauté spices until they release their aroma, around 2 minutes.
Add the lean mutton mince to the skillet and cook on medium-high heat, breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon, until the mutton is browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
Mix in pureed tomatoes, and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are cooked and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in green peas, salt, and black pepper. Cover and cook on low heat for another 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
Once the peas are cooked and the keema mixture is well incorporated, turn off the heat.
Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves and drizzle lemon juice over the top.
Serve the Heart-Healthy Mutton Keema with whole grain bread or brown rice for a complete meal.
