Kheema Masala

This Kheema is a typically spicy recipe from around Aurangabad. One very wet , dark night we travelled in a rickety auto rickshaw to taste this hot speciality. Its not for the faint hearted, so careful!

500 gms Kheema(mince ). I have used chicken mince , but can be replaced by a mince of your choice. Soaked and boiled soya granules can be used for a vegetarian option. 2 chopped onions, 4 tbsp Onion-Coconut masala , salt to taste.

Wash the mince and drain. Heat oil and fry onions till soft and light brown.Add the mince and saute till brown. Add the Onion-Coconut masala, salt and 1 cup water. Cover and cook till the mince is done. Serve sprinkled with coriander leaves, sliced onions and a lime wedge. Best served with parathas, bread or the Indian Kadak Pao( crusty bread buns).
