Finish and Garnish
Replace mutton kheema with crumbled paneer or soya granules. Adjust cooking time accordingly as they cook much faster.

Add 1-2 tablespoons of cashew paste or fresh cream at the end of cooking for a richer, creamier consistency.
This recipe works well with minced chicken or turkey. Reduce the cooking time in Step 6 as chicken cooks faster than mutton.
Both mutton and eggs provide high-quality complete protein, which is essential for muscle building, tissue repair, and overall body function.

The combination of protein and healthy fats in this dish provides sustained energy, making it a hearty and satisfying meal that keeps you full for longer.
This dish contains essential minerals like zinc from mutton and selenium from eggs, both of which play a vital role in supporting a healthy immune system.
Anda Kheema is a high-protein dish thanks to the mutton and eggs. However, it can be high in fat and calories. To make it healthier, use lean minced mutton, reduce the amount of ghee/oil, and serve it with whole wheat roti.
A typical serving of Anda Kheema (around 1 cup or 335g) contains approximately 450-550 calories, depending on the fat content of the mutton and the amount of oil used.
Absolutely! Chicken kheema is a great alternative. It cooks much faster, so you'll only need to simmer or pressure cook it for about 10-15 minutes in Step 6.
The key is to lower the heat to an absolute minimum before adding the yogurt. Also, make sure the yogurt is whisked well and at room temperature. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes after adding it until it's fully incorporated into the masala.
It pairs wonderfully with Indian breads like naan, roti, paratha, or soft bread rolls (pav). It can also be served alongside steamed basmati rice and a simple kachumber salad.
You can store leftover Anda Kheema in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors often deepen and taste even better the next day. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
