What is mutton keema

Mutton keema is nothing but lamb mince. The boneless meat of the sheep is finely chopped to make a mince. If you source it locally without the packaged ones, be sure to ask your butcher to remove excess fat.

Things to remember while preparing mutton keema recipe

  • The key tip here is to choose a good quality mutton mince. When possible get the keema done from the best cut of the sheep like the shoulder, breast, leg or belly.
  • Be sure of the mutton that you are using. If you are getting a tender mutton, it will easy to cook this dish.
  • Ask the butcher to remove excess fat before making the mince.
  • You can also remove excess fat when you add water to the keema. The white fat will start floating on top and go and easily remove it.
  • Wash with turmeric powder, wheat flour and vinegar to remove raw smell from it.
  • Place in a strainer for some time to completely drain water from it before cooking.
  • Cook on low heat for best taste.
  • If the meat is not very tender or if you are short on time, then you might have to cook it in a pressure cooker. But it won’t taste the same as the being cooked on stove top.

  1. Choose best quality mutton mince. The tender the mutton is, the faster it will cook. 
  2. You can also pressure cook the mutton keema. Remember to add in a cup of water to prevent burning when you are using the pressure cooker.
