Keema Kaleji \ Mutton Mince and Liver in a Spicy Curry
Keema kaleji is one of the many Mutton recipes dad used to make on a regular basis. His Sunday morning ritual of going to the local butcher shop, getting the best cuts of meat and then spending the morning frying the masala till perfection is till fresh in my mind. Oil and spices were lavishly used and no compromises were made in terms of time or ingredients to make the rich curries.
