  5. Then add garlic and ginger paste  to it and fry in high flames  for  2 mins.  Then  add chopped  tomatoes  to it and  fry again. 
  6. After a couple of minutes  add all dry spices except garam masala  and little water to it and cook  again. 
  7. When oil separates from masala  add the keema to it and fry for 2 to 3  mins in high  flames  and later lower the flame and allow to cook. 
  8. When keema is cooked properly and oil started ozing  out of the keema add garam  masala  to it.  Taste the dish,  balance the seasoning  and also add some water if it required.  Then add chopped  coriander  and mint leaves and switch off the gas..
