Green masala

• Adjust the sourness of the vinegar as per your taste while cooking.

• You can add extra 1tsp of garam masala while it is cooking if you want it very spicy, check and adjust as per taste.

• For gravy add extra water.

• You can also add small chopped pieces of potato to the kheema, when the meat changes colour and while the water is still boiling.

• The dry beef Kheema without the peas and potato can be stored in the freezer for 3-4 weeks. If you keep it longer it will change its taste.
