Keema Patties

Keema patties is my granny’s recipe,which I have learnt from her and think that I can not even match to her excellence and perfection when it comes to making keema patties. Whenever she use to make keema patties , I still remember she never use to allow any imperfections, in fact all the patties size use to be big, round in shape and of exact proportions as if she had measured each inch by inch. I dedicate this recipe to my loving grand ma ” HAWABAI’ whose unfortunately not there among us, but is still alive in our memories. Here I am sharing my grand ma’s secret recipe which is made of keema tossed in spices and stuffed in boiled, mashed potatoes which tastes delicious and yumm… Here is lip smacking recipe of keema patties ( stuffed keema) ……..I always try to match up with hers when ever I make this recipe , but no one can beat her excellent skills, try this stuffed keema , I am sure you will like it…..

Now to fill the keema stuffing in mashed potatoes , refer the video and recipe ahead

Take a small portion of potato mixture, roll it into a ball ,then make a flat surface out of it by patting on the ball.

Once the potato ball is formed into a full circle , place the keema filling in the middle by a spoon or hand.

when you place keema in the middle start taking the potato mixture to upward direction by using your fingers , then keep moving it into a circular motion , seal the top opening and flip it upside down , keep patting to make a dome shape all over, it to give a good finish.

Beat the egg and add salt and pepper.

Once the stuffing is done , dip the patties in egg and then roll in butter crumbs.

In pan heat some oil , shallow fry the keema petice until golden in color by frying it on both the sides.

Drain the petice on absorbent paper and serve hot with your choice of chutney/ tomato ketchup.

Note:
If your minced mutton ( keema) contains lots of fats then do not add oil but if it isn’t then add 1 tsp oil in keema while cooking.
