Mix, Finish, and Serve
Replace mutton keema with 400g of crumbled paneer (paneer bhurji) or 2 cups of soaked soya granules. Reduce the initial cooking time significantly.
Use chicken mince instead of mutton. The cooking time for the keema will be shorter, around 15-20 minutes.
After mixing in the eggs, sprinkle 1/2 cup of grated mozzarella or Amul cheese over the top and cover for a minute until it melts.
The combination of mutton keema and eggs provides a high-quality protein punch, essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
Mutton is a great source of heme iron, which is easily absorbed by the body and helps in preventing iron-deficiency anemia and boosting energy levels.
The healthy fats from the meat, eggs, and butter, combined with protein, offer a source of dense, sustained energy, keeping you full and satisfied for longer.
The recipe uses spices like turmeric, which has anti-inflammatory properties, and ginger and garlic, which are known to aid digestion and boost immunity.
It's a famous street food dish from Surat, Gujarat. 'Ghotala' means 'scramble' or 'mess'. It consists of a spicy minced mutton (keema) curry into which eggs are cracked and then partially scrambled, creating a rich, textured, and hearty dish.
It is a high-protein dish due to the mutton and eggs, which is great for muscle maintenance. However, it is also rich in fats and calories from the oil, butter, and fatty mince, so it should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
One serving (approximately 1 cup or 280g) of Keema Ghotala, without the pav, contains around 550-650 calories, depending on the fat content of the mutton and the amount of oil and butter used.
Yes, absolutely. Chicken keema is a great alternative. Since chicken cooks faster than mutton, you will need to reduce the simmering time in Step 1 to about 15-20 minutes.
To reduce the heat, you can omit the green chillies or deseed them before adding. You can also reduce the amount of red chilli powder or use a milder variety like Kashmiri red chilli powder, which is more for color than heat.
While buttered pav is the classic pairing, this dish is also delicious with roti, chapati, paratha, or even simple toasted bread slices.
