Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams mutton mince (keema)
- 2 tablespoons ghee or clarified butter
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 medium green chili, slit
- 1 medium tomato, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
Instructions
Heat the ghee in a large skillet over medium heat until it melts and begins to glisten.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chili. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes aromatic.
Add the chopped tomato to the skillet and cook until the tomatoes break down and become soft, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, cayenne pepper, and salt. Cook the spices with the mixture for 1-2 minutes for the flavors to meld.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the mutton mince to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until the mince is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the keema cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend well.
Garnish the dish with fresh chopped cilantro and drizzle the juice of one lime over the top.
Serve the Whole30 Mutton Keema warm. It pairs well with a side of sautéed vegetables or a simple salad.
