Recipes	MEAT DISHES: Mincemeat (Kheema Hyderabadi) Many bachelors studying in US find it difficult and time consuming to cook, while newly wedded wives think it is a different and difficult recipe for each dish.So here is a recipe for a basic mincemeat dish which can be converted to many more dishes just by adding one ingredient more.Easy cooking to learners & time savers Insha'Allah! - Mrs. Batul Fatima Ingredients: Mince meat, 1 kg Onions (medium sized), 3 Ginger paste, 1 tablespoon Garlic paste, 1 teaspoon Red chilli powder, 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon Salt to taste Oil (corn/vegetable/olive), 3 tablespoon Green chilies, 3 Mint leaves, 1/2 cup Corriander leaves, 1/2 cup Method: Chop onions. Wash mincemeat & drain thoroughly. Chop mint & corriander leaves & keep aside for garnishing. Heat oil. Add onions & fry till they change color. Add ginger & garlic pastes, fry for 1 minute. Add mincemeat & mix well. Add the remaining spices & mix well. Cook for 3 minutes & keep stirring. Add water just to cover the onions & mince meat. Cover with lid & cook till tender on almost simmer. When water is dried & mincemeat done stirr well with wooden spoon so that the onions are all mashed up & everything mixed uniformly. When done garnish with corriander & mint leaves. Serve hot with roti,chapati(bread) or rice. Note: The above can be divided into 4 equal portions to make 4 different dishes: Dish 1 -- Mutter Kheema (Peas Mincemeat) To the above cooked mince meat just before garnishing add 1 cup peas & cook till peas are done. Now garnish with mint & corriander leaves. Dish 2-- Aloo Kheema (Potato Mincemeat) To the above cooked mince meat just before garnishing add 1 medium sized potato (washed, peeled & cut into 1 inch cubes). Cook till potato is tender. Add water if need to cook potato. Garnish with corriander & mint leaves. Dish 3--Gobi Kheema (Cauliflower Mincemeat) Follow same instructions as aloo kheema by replacing potato by 1/4 cauliflower Dish 4--Patta Gobi Kheema (Cabbage Mincemeat) Chop 1/4 cabbage finely & follow same instrucions as aloo kheema. These can be cooked & refrigerated for 15 to 20 days. It's always better to add vegetables on the day of serving to get a fresh taste. Mincemeat can be cooked, divided & frozen. Yet another dish could be made by adding 1 cup mixed vegetables (1 inch cubes of potato, carrots, cauliflower & peas) to one portion of mincemeat (i.e. 1/4 kg of mince meat). Say Bismillah & eat! Inshallah it will be tasty! I shall try to send more recipes. In need of prayers for my family & me. Mrs. Batul Fatima Recipes
