How To Make Keema Ghotala At Home | Quick And Easy Recipe For Anda Kheema Ghotala

Method 1: Making Ghotala With Leftover Keema

If you have keema leftover from earlier, all you have to add is reheat it on a tawa, pan or kadhai. Ensure that it is not excessively oily. Also, note that a tawa is often preferred as it helps you mince the ingredients more easily. Once you add the keema, whip some eggs and add them to the tawa too. Then, use a spatula to combine the keema and eggs well. Keep mixing until the eggs scramble and adjust salt and spices. That’s it – your keema ghotala is ready!

Method 2: Making Keema Ghotala From Scratch

Wash and drain the mince. Set aside. In a kadhai, heat oil and saute bay leaves, ginger garlic paste, onion, and green chillies. Next, add the mince and mix. Heat should be on medium. Cook for 5-10 minutes.

Once you see the mince drying up, add salt, red chilli powder, garam masala and other spices. Add the tomato puree, along with half a cup of warm water. Mix, lower the heat and allow the keema to cook for a few minutes, covered. Later, add lemon juice, chopped coriander, mint, spring onions and tomatoes. Finally, add the beaten eggs. Use a spatula to mix and mince the ingredients together, until the eggs are cooked.
