Andhra Style Kheema Fry
Kheema fry is a dry side dish that is prepared in many ways across the country. The Kheema Fry that we are making here is an Andhra recipe. As is the case with most Andhra recipes, the spice content is very high. This kheema recipe is very dry and therefore its more spicy. The specialty of Kheema fry is that it is cooked with methi or fenugreek leaves. Fenugreek has a unique bitter under-taste that gives this Indian mutton recipe a different flavour.
As this recipe is to prepare kheema fry, it has to be very dry. That is why, you need to cook the kheema with minimal water for this dish. In fact, you can even cook the kheema without water in a dry pan to evaporate the water and then mix it with the spices.
