Mutton Keema matar masala is one of my all time favourite. I’m not much fond of Mutton other than this mutton keema.This recipe is from my mom’s kitchen , she prepares a very good spicy flavourful delicious Mutton Keema Balls Curry and this mutton keema matar masala.
Mutton Keema Matar masala is minced meat cooked along with whole spices and then mixed with different masala,spices and green peas.
As mutton is red meat and fat is high , it’s not recommended to eat mutton often as it may increase cholesterol. Eating once in a while is no harm , its very rare I cook mutton in my kitchen ,it’s the reason you hardly see any mutton recipes on my blog. But ,hereafter you can expect few mouth watering mutton recipes on my blog.
Serve Mutton Keema Masala with Idli , Dosa, Pav ,Mughlai Paratha ,Roti , Naan , Rumali Roti , Poori or Jeera Rice.
