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

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Mix in pureed tomatoes, and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are cooked and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in green peas, salt, and black pepper. Cover and cook on low heat for another 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Once the peas are cooked and the keema mixture is well incorporated, turn off the heat.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves and drizzle lemon juice over the top.

Step 10

Serve the Heart-Healthy Mutton Keema with whole grain bread or brown rice for a complete meal.
