Ingredients

1 kg Keema /Minced Mutton
3 Tbsp Oil
4 medium Onions, finely diced
6 Tomatoes, roughly chopped
8 Garlic cloves
1" Fresh ginger root
2-3 Green chilis adjust to taste (add more or less depending on spice preference)
1.5 tsp Cumin seeds
2 tsp Meat masala Homemade or store-bought. I used store- bought.
2 tsp Garam Masala
1.5 tsp Coriander powder
Salt to taste
4 Black cardamoms
1" Cinnamon stick
2 Dried bay leaves
4 Dried red chilis, whole adjust to taste
2 pcs Star anise
3 Potatoes, peeled and quartered

Instructions

Heat oil in a kadai or a large pan. Add the cumin seeds, bay leaves, dried red chilis, black cardamom, cinnamon stick, and star anise.
Once the cumin seeds splutter, add the keema/mince and chopped onions to the pan.
Keep stirring occasionally to brown the meat very well.
In the meanwhile, puree the tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and green chilis to a smooth paste. When the meat is all well browned and all the water is dried up, add the tomato paste, meat masala, garam masala, coriander powder, and salt.
Stir the mixture well. Add 1/2 cup water, cover the pan, and let it cook for 30-40 minutes.
At this stage, you can add potatoes to the mince right away and cook it in the pressure cooker.
Add the potatoes now and some more water if required. Let it all cook in a covered pan for another 30 minutes or until the potatoes are soft and cooked through.
Taste and adjust for seasoning and spices. Garnish with fresh coriander. Serve hot with pav or rotis. Enjoy!

Notes

NOTE:

You can saute the potatoes before adding them to the curry if you like.

Adjust the chili content to taste.
