How to make Mutton keema in Instant Pot
In short, you make the masala or the sauce for the keema curry and then pressure cook everything together.I describe the process in more detail down.You can also watch the video for the additional help.
Step 1:Make the sauce or Base
Select the saute mode on the instant pot.Once the inner pot is hot, add oil.Let the oil warm through.Add ginger, garlic and onions in that order.Saute the onions till it turns slightly golden brown.
Once the onions is brown, add finely chopped tomatoes.I use a food processor to chop the tomatoes.Add the spices and salt too and mix.Let this mixture cook till it resembles a paste and darkens.
To this add the yogurt.I use greek yogurt, you can use regular unsweetened yogurt too.
Step 2: Pressure Cook
To the sauce, add minced meat along with water.Give it a good stir.Break the clumps of meat and make sure the sauce is well mixed with the mince.
Cancel the saute mode.Close the lid and pressure cook for 20 minutes on HIGH.Once the time is up, wait for 5 minutes before quick releasing the pressure.
Give it a stir, taste, add more salt if needed.Garnish with cilantro and serve hot.
