Keema Pav is a legendary street food favorite from the Irani cafes of Mumbai and across India. This recipe features spiced minced mutton cooked with onions, tomatoes, and aromatic spices until it reaches a semi-dry, flavorful consistency. Served with buttery, toasted bread rolls (Pav), it offers a profoundly satisfying and rustic dining experience. Its taste is savory, mildly tangy, and spicy, often finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon and raw onions. This dish is the ultimate comfort food for any time of the day. Best enjoyed hot at a casual brunch or as a late-night snack.
