Big hello to everyone....Finally done with my university applications so I'm back again. Hope everyone enjoying the most memorable victory of our Indian Team in ICC World Cup. Today's match was really a nail-biting experience with the most delightful ending with a six by our hero Dhoni.I am sure guys that we all will remember this pride moment our whole life.

I have huge list of recipes pending on my end but today's recipe spicy Aloo kheema curry was one of the most special one as my husband made this for dinner on Valentines day 2011 :) He made it so tasty I really enjoyed my dinner....So frankly speaking its my loving hubby's recipe.

Ingredients:

1 kg mutton kheema/ground lamb

2-3 medium size potatoes peeled and cut it big pieces

2 medium size onions finely chopped

4-5 green chili slit lengthwise

2-3 tsp red chili powder

1 tsp mutton curry masala ( I use MDH meat curry masala)(optional)

salt to taste

2 tsp ginger garlic paste (freshly made one is preferable)

1 tsp red chili flakes

1/2 tsp cumin seeds

whole garam masala ( Cinnamon stick,cloves,green cardamom)

8-10 fresh curry leaves

2 tsp oil

1 tsp fresh lemonic juice

pinch of turmer

coriander leaves for garnish

Preparation:

1. Clean the ground meat very well and marinate with 1 tsp red chili powder,salt,1 tsp ginger garlic paste and lemon juice and keep aside for 1 hr (optional, but will give nice flavor to kheema)
2. Heat 1 tsp of oil in a heavy bottomed pan and add cumin seeds and after they splutter add potato pieces and cook till it is 1/4 th cooked and add pinch of salt and red chili flakes and mix well and keep it aside.
3. Now add 1 more tsp oil in the same pan and add whole garam masala and fry till nice aroma comes out of it. Now add curry leaves and fry for 1 min and add chopped onions and fry for 2-4 mins and add ginger garlic paste and fry till raw smell leaves. Now add pich of turmeric and green chilies and mix well and fry for 2 mins.
4. Add marinated kheema, red chili powder, coriander powder, meat masala and mix well and add cooked potatoes and fry for 3-4 mins without lid.
5. Now place lid and cook for 10 mins and do not add water as kheema gives out water but if you feel you are not getting water out of it add cup of water and cook till kheema is almost done and add salt and garam masala and cook without lid for 3 mins until it reaches your desired consistency.
6. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot rice or rotis.

Hope you all enjoy this spicy and tasty recipe. Do post your comments. Thanks :)
