Method

  1. 1

    Begin by gently rehydrating the delicate onion flakes: place them in a small bowl, cover with warm water, and let them soften for about 10 minutes. Drain thoroughly.

  2. 2

    Melt the golden Aseel Vegetable Ghee in a sturdy, wide pan or kadhai over medium heat, allowing its nutty aroma to fill your kitchen.

  3. 3

    Add the rehydrated onion flakes to the shimmering ghee and sauté until they turn translucent and release their sweet essence, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Introduce the fresh Pure Mutton mince to the pan. Break it apart with a wooden spoon, ensuring it browns evenly, transforming from a vibrant pink to a rich, earthy brown. This takes about 8-10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Season the browning mince generously with salt and a robust grind of black pepper, stirring to ensure every morsel is coated in flavour.

  6. 6

    Lower the heat, cover the pan, and let the keema simmer gently for 15-20 minutes. This allows the mince to become incredibly tender and absorb all the beautiful, concentrated flavours.

  7. 7

    Uncover the pan, increase the heat slightly, and cook off any remaining moisture, stirring occasionally, until the keema glistens with a rich, dry texture.

  8. 8

    Serve this comforting Mutton Keema Bhurji hot, relishing its savoury depth as a perfect Indian breakfast or brunch.

👩‍🍳 Chef's tip

For an even richer flavour, ensure the mutton mince is well-browned before adding spices. While traditional recipes often include ginger-garlic paste and green chilies, this simplified version still delivers satisfying depth, perfect for a quick breakfast. Serve with toasted bread, a side of scrambled eggs, or even as a filling for quick wraps.
