Keema Matar | Matar Keema | Minced Mutton with Peas & Spices | Bakrid Recipes

Keema Matar or Qeema Matar is traditional Indian Meat dish which is nothing but minced mutton curry with peas.  If keema matar is made properly then the people who don’t like mutton would also eat it. Popular during Eid and Bakrid, this recipe calls for the main ingredients call Patience's but then it’s paid off in the form of delicious keema matar or matar keema whatever we may like to call it.  Not only as side dish but keema matar can be used as filling for naan, paratha, samosa or even serve with pav.  DH made this for a get together with my help of only chopping onion, tomato and it was highlight of the menu. The only other effective recipe was Chicken Masala again made by DH and Dahi Bhalla done by me.  DH tried to find the recipe online but he was not happy with anything, in the end he did it his way which was super delicious, list of ingredients looks long but it’s a simple recipe.
