Mughlai Kheema Matar image

A wonderful mutton curry from India. Mughlai refers to the Mughal emperor period of rule in India(from Babar in 1526 to Aurangzeb in 1707). In those days, elaborate dishes were garnished with beaten gold and silver. A dinner would mean 50-500 different dishes liberally cooked in ghee and accompanied with wheat breads or haleem. In those days, a meal was traditionally topped up with chai(tea) and paan(betel leaves). Kheema was what the common man ate as staple. Times have changed, but his descendants enjoy this dish even today!
