FAQ 💬

Q. What’s the best cut of meat for minced mutton?

Keema made from shoulder or leg gives the best texture. It has the right balance of fat, which helps the keema stay tender during cooking.

Q. How do I avoid the keema turning dry?

Don’t overcook it. Add water in small amounts while simmering and keep the flame medium. Covering the pan also helps lock in moisture.

Q. Can I add vegetables to mutton keema?

Green peas are the most common add-on, but you can also mix in diced capsicum or potatoes for a fuller, home-style version.
