For 4 servings
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mutton keema, finely chopped onion, ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, coriander leaves, and mint leaves. Mix them together thoroughly. This should take about 5 minutes.
To the keema mixture, add the garam masala, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Sprinkle in the roasted besan and pour in the lemon juice. Use your hands to mix everything until well combined, but avoid overworking the mixture to keep the patties tender. This step takes about 3 minutes.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour. This crucial step allows the flavors to meld and firms up the mixture, making it easier to shape the patties.
After chilling, divide the mixture into 12 equal portions. Lightly grease your palms with oil, roll each portion into a smooth ball, and then gently flatten it to form a patty about 1/2-inch thick. This process will take about 7 minutes.
Heat the oil in a wide, heavy-bottomed pan or skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place 4-5 patties in the pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Shallow fry for 4-5 minutes on the first side until a deep golden-brown crust forms.
Gently flip the patties and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side until they are cooked through and evenly browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining patties.

For a lower-fat version, bake the patties at 200°C (400°F) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, or cook them in an air fryer at 180°C (360°F) for 12-15 minutes.
If you don't have besan, you can use 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs or 3 tablespoons of powdered roasted chickpeas (sattu) as a binding agent.

Mutton is an excellent source of high-quality protein, which is crucial for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle mass, and maintaining overall body function.
This dish provides a significant amount of heme iron from the mutton, a type that is easily absorbed by the body. Iron is essential for forming hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood and helps prevent anemia.
The blend of spices like turmeric, ginger, and garlic contains powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds that can help strengthen the immune system and protect the body against infections.
A serving of 3 Keema Patties (approximately 160g) contains around 450-500 calories. The exact number can vary based on the fat content of the mutton and the amount of oil absorbed during frying.
Keema Patties are a good source of protein and iron from the mutton. However, they are high in saturated fat and calories due to the meat and shallow-frying method. They can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. For a healthier option, consider baking or air-frying them.
Patties usually break for two main reasons: excess moisture in the keema mixture or skipping the chilling step. Always squeeze out water from the minced meat and ensure you refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to help it firm up and bind together.
Yes, absolutely. Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (360°F). Lightly brush the patties with oil and place them in the basket in a single layer. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
Yes, minced chicken is an excellent substitute. Chicken keema is leaner and cooks faster, so you may need to reduce the frying time to about 3-4 minutes per side to prevent it from drying out.
