Keema Matar is a versatile and hearty North Indian classic that features minced mutton cooked with fresh green peas. This recipe emphasizes the 'Bhuna' technique, where the minced meat is sautéed with onions, tomatoes, and spices until it is dark and intensely flavorful. The sweetness of the peas provides a beautiful contrast to the savory and spicy meat base. Its texture is chunky and satisfying, making it a favorite for breakfast or main meals. Best served with hot buttered pav, tandoori paratha, or simple steamed rice.

Tips & Secrets
- Patiently browning the keema (Bhuna) is the secret to achieving that deep savory professional flavor.
- Using fresh peas instead of frozen provides a superior sweetness and texture to the final dish.

- Adding a splash of lemon juice at the end can brighten the heavy flavors of the meat and spices.
