Boil, peel, and mash the potatoes until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps. Set aside to cool.
Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they become soft and translucent.
Add the ginger-garlic paste and chopped green chillies. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the raw aroma disappears.
Add the mutton keema to the pan. Use a spatula to break up any lumps and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the keema changes color from pink to brown.
Stir in the turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the keema cook for 10-15 minutes. Uncover and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring, until all the moisture has evaporated. The mixture must be completely dry. Turn off the heat, stir in the garam masala, and let it cool completely.

Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round or oval patty, about 1/2-inch thick. For best results, refrigerate the shaped patties for 30 minutes to help them firm up.
Prepare the coating station. In a shallow bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour and water to create a smooth, thin slurry. Spread the breadcrumbs on a separate flat plate.
Dip each patty first into the flour slurry, letting any excess drip off. Then, coat it evenly with breadcrumbs, pressing gently so they adhere well.
Heat 1 cup of oil in a wide pan for shallow frying over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place 3-4 coated cutlets in the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.
Remove the cutlets with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with mint chutney or ketchup.
Substitute mutton with minced chicken, turkey, or lamb. Adjust cooking time accordingly as chicken and turkey cook faster.
Replace mutton keema with crumbled paneer, mashed soya granules, or a mixture of finely chopped vegetables like carrots, peas, and beans.
Use rice flour or cornstarch for the slurry and coat with crushed cornflakes or gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Increase the amount of green chillies and red chilli powder, or add a pinch of black pepper powder to the keema mixture.

Mutton Keema Cutlet is a good source of protein and iron. However, since it is shallow-fried, it is higher in calories and fat. To make it healthier, you can bake or air-fry the cutlets instead of frying.
Yes, you can. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the coated cutlets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spray them lightly with oil, and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
The most common reason is excess moisture in the mixture, either from the keema or the potatoes. Ensure the keema is cooked until completely dry and the potatoes are not waterlogged. Chilling the patties for 30 minutes before frying also helps them hold their shape.
