Keema Kaleji Recipe- Mutton Liver Mince
Keema Kaleji is mutton mince cooked with liver chunks that makes an amazing side dish with chapatis and rice. Kheema happens to be the most loved mutton delicacy in my house and we also have it in Sehri during Ramadan. It’s tasty, easy to cook and delicious of course. The recipe here comes from my family, my grandma use to cook Keema kaleji this way, whereas I personally cook a dry version with khada masala.
