Peppercorns cloves 1 ½ stp turmeric powder 2 tsp red chili powder depending on the spice 2 tsp mix masala, or garam masala (any meat masala) Coriander to garnish	Marinating the kheema take a bowl, and add the raw mince to it add 1 tsp oil add the turmeric powder, red chili powder & mix masala and mix well once mixed, lets keep it aside for at least 40 mins If you are not short of time, you can marinate this overnight Frying onions in flavoured infused oil I will be cooking this in a deep vessel like this. But to save time you can always use a pressure pan to cook this kheema, I have made a video for that, the link should be somewhere here. Once the kheema is marinated for a sufficient time, let’s start cooking add 3 tbsp oil and let it heat on a medium gas setting once it heats up, add 4-5 peppercorns 2-3 cloves 1-2 cinnamon sticks gently mix them in oil but make sure they don’t burn as you see the colour of the spices darken, quickly add all the chopped onions Now I will give you a very important tip, not only for cooking this kheema, but for any meat dish that requires frying onions Make sure you fry the onions until they become golden brown, and do it by stirring them occasionally on medium heat. The final taste of your dish depends on this, once you add the ingredients, the onions will cook, but the flavor of frying the onions in the hot oil along with the spices will be lost. So even if this step takes time, let me will tell you it’s worth the wait guys. Further Cooking now that the onions have turned golden brown, let’s add the chopped tomatoes mix well, and let the tomatoes cook. once the tomatoes are cooked and become soft then let’s add the marinated kheema. add little bit of water, and mix well so that no lumps of kheema remain. add the green peas, and now lets cover the pan and let it cook Make sure you cook it on low to medium heat, it will take a longer time to cook, but it will ensure that kheema is cooked evenly. Occasionally just open and stir to ensure that kheema is not stuck to the pan. After around 30 mins, I think our kheema is cooked, open it up give it a stir
