200 gms. mutton mince

Instructions

Wash the mince 3-4 times, preferably under running water. Boil 4 times with a pinch of salt and few cardamoms. When cool, discard the cardamoms and blend along with 1/4 cup milk into a smooth paste.
Heat 3 tbsp. ghee in a non-stick pan stir fry the mince paste along with 3-4 cardamoms on a low flame till light brown.
Add the remaining milk and saffron. Keep simmering for 2-3 minutes.
