Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground meat (lamb, beef, or chicken)
- 3 tablespoons Cooking oil or ghee
- 2 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 medium Tomatoes, finely chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 2 pieces Green chili, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Garam masala
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Heat the cooking oil or ghee in a large pan or wok over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Cook for another 2 minutes until aromatic.
Add the finely chopped tomatoes and cook until softened and the oil begins to separate, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well to combine the spices.
Add the ground meat to the pan and cook, breaking up any lumps with a spoon, until it is browned and no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes.
Pour in the water, mix, and reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure it doesn't stick.
Remove the lid and cook off any excess moisture if needed, stirring frequently to achieve a dry consistency (Bhutuwa-style).
Sprinkle the garam masala and fresh cilantro over the dish and stir well.
Finish with a drizzle of lemon juice before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or roti, and enjoy your flavorful Keema Bhutuwa!
