How to Make Dhaba-Style Aloo Keema?
To cook Dhaba Aloo Keema, first
cut and chop tomatoes, onions, potatoes, ginger, and green chilies. Prepare
ginger, garlic, and chili paste and set them aside.
If you have a mincer
machine at home, it would be ideal to
make your own mince. Otherwise, you can purchase it from the butcher's shop.
It's important to ensure that the ground meat is fat-free. Alternatively, if
you prefer, you can use hand-ground meat instead of a machine mincer.
To make a delicious curry, first add ground meat to a pot and roast it for 5-10 minutes until all the water has evaporated.
Once the meat is dry, add onion, tomato, salt,
ginger, garlic, chili paste, chili flakes, and red chili powder. Mix everything
together well, and then add Kashmiri red chili powder to give the curry a
beautiful shine and color.
Cover the pot and let it cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, add potato cubes, crushed coriander, and cumin powder, and stir
everything together.
Cover the pot again
and let it cook until the potatoes are soft, about 80% cooked.
Next, add desi ghee or banaspati ghee according to your preference. Fry the keema aloo for about 10-15 minutes until you can smell the
aroma. Just before finishing, add green chilies and grated ginger, and stir to mix
well.
Then, sprinkle in garam masala and some chopped fresh coriander. Let it simmer
over a low flame for another 10 minutes to finish cooking.
Once done, transfer the aloo keema to a serving bowl or plate.
Enjoy with naan, roti, paratha, and salad.d
