Notes

I do not use machine minced mutton keema to make this dish. Manual mincing offers the right flavor and taste.
Do not make a fine powder of the roasted spices. The coarseness adds to the flavor, texture and taste of mutton keema fry.
Do not add water to pressure cook the minced meat because mutton keema has its own juice.
I add curd after switching the flame off as it prevents it from curdling.
