Kheema Cutets | Goat Keema Cutlet | Keema Starter Recipe

Mutton Kheema Cutlets are a big hit at home, Amma makes it so well and as kids we never complain to eat them :-). She made sure to do it once a month and when everyone is at home. A super simple recipe and you can even do it ahead and then shallow fry them when you want it. The minced meat is pre-cooked and made into dumplings along with mashed potatoes and spices. Later coated with batter rolled on breadcrumbs and then shallow fried. You really do not need a side to dip these cutlets they taste great on their own.

So last weekend when we had friends over for lunch I made these as a starter and they simply enjoyed these Kheema cutlets a lot and everyone wanted a second and third serving ;-) I couldn't be more happy.

  • Now add the cooked meat to this and prepare dumplings or balls and flatten it. Arrange them on a plate, you can freeze these to be used later or refrigerate according to your convenience
  • Just before shallow frying them, take them outside and let it come down to room temperature.
  • Once its ready drip each dumpling in egg wash and roll on breadcrumbs, tap the excess and arrange on a plate, repeat this to all the dumplings
  • Heat oil as required to shallow fry and fry each side for 2 minutes and flip to fry the other side
Serve warm and enjoy :-)


Cooks Wisdom

- Make sure that the meat is well cooked, since its pre-cooked I only shallow fried it. Alternately you can deep fry the potato dumplings directly in oil 
- These patties can be freezed to use later too for burgers and even for a lunch in a sandwich
- You can add spices too and make it more tasty, nevertheless these taste great without any spice powders
- I used the home-made breadcrumbs that I did a while ago, check the post HERE
