Mutton keema fry is usually made with minced mutton cooked with a variety of spices. First, the keema is pressure cooked with salt, bay leaves, a cinnamon stick, sliced onions, and tomatoes without adding any water. It is then fried to perfection until dry along with cloves, green chilies, and whisked curd.
Mix 750 grams of minced mutton along with 2 pieces of onions and 3 pieces of tomatoes, both medium size and roughly sliced, 1 piece cinnamon (1 inch stick), 2 pieces of bay leaves and 1 tsp of salt and pressure cook up to 2 whistles.
Dry roast 1 tsp of coriander seeds, 1 tsp of fennel seeds, 1 tsp of cumin seeds, ½ tsp of black peppercorns, 3 pieces whole dry red chilies, 3 pieces green cardamom (whole pods) and only the seeds of one black cardamom for 2 minutes, transfer them to a plate to cool down and then make a coarse powder.
Remove the bay leaves and cinnamon stick from the cooked keema.
Fry 4 pieces of cloves and 4 pieces of finely chopped green chilies in 2 tbsp of cooking oil on a medium flame. Add the pressure-cooked mutton keema along with its juice. Stir and cook on a high flame until the moisture reduces.
Mix the ground masala and ¼ tsp of turmeric powder and cook for 2 minutes.
Switch off the flame and add ½ cup of whisked curd. Mix and cook on a low to medium flame until dry before mixing a fistful of finely chopped coriander leaves.
Check the doneness after a minute of cooking and transfer onto a serving plate.
Your tasty and spicy homemade mutton keema fry is ready.
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.
