Ingredients

 
Ground Lamb/Mutton/Kheema - 0.5 pound/0.25 kg
 
Cauliflower - half of a medium sized cauliflower cut into small florets
 
Onion - 1 small finely chopped
 
Green chillies - 2 slit lenghtwise
 
Shahijeera/Caraway seeds - 2 pinches
 
Cloves - 4
 
Cardamom - 2
 
Cinnamon sticks - 3 medium size
 
Turmeric powder - 0.25 tsp
 
Dhaniya/Coriander powder - 0.5 tsp
 
Salt and Chilly powder - to taste

Directions

Heat 4 tbs oil in a pressure cooker. Add shahijeera and allow them to splutter. Add cloves, cardamom and cinnamon sticks. Saute for a few seconds.

Add chopped onion, green chillies and turmeric powder. Saute until onions begin to change color.

Add ground lamb and saute with the onions for about 4-5 minutes. The lamb should have been browned by now. Add 1 cup water and cover the cooker with its lid and pressure cook upto 2-3 whistles.

Remove lid, Add cauliflower florets and mix.

Add dhaniya powder, salt and chilly powder. Mix well and continue cooking until the water has been absorbed and the florets have turned tender. (If the water has evaporated completely before the florets turn tender, then add a little water and continue cooking)

Serve Hot with Roti/Chapathi.

I would love to try this recipe, but am unsure of "3 whistles" referring to the amount of time in the pressure cooker. Can you explain further - approximately how long are you cooking under pressure? Thanks! :-)

Approximately 5 -7 minutes in the pressure cooker/until the meat becomes tender.

wow, it looks great! If I am using mutton/lamb, then is there any specific portion of them to use in the recipe ?

If you are using 0.5 pound of lamb then add 2 cups of florets and if using 1 pound lamb then increase to 3 - 3.5 cups of florets. I haven't tried making with lamb cut into small pieces. The only meat I have used so far for this dish is ground lamb.

Adding more veggies will kill the flavor of the Kheema. You may choose to add green peas with cauliflower but not more than that.
