Instructions
Prepare the Lamb Kheema Filling
  1. Heat 4 - 5 tablespoons of vegetable oil and 2 - 3 tablespoons of ghee in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until they release their aroma.
  3. Add the bay leaves, green cardamoms, and cloves.
  4. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté them until they become soft and translucent.
  5. Stir in the garlic ginger paste and green chillies. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
  6. Add the sliced bell pepper.
  7. Add the coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and red chilli powder. Stir well to coat the mixture with the spices.
  8. Add the pureed tomatoes and cook until the oil begins to separate from the mixture, which takes about 5-7 minutes.
  9. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are heated through.
  10. Season with salt according to your taste.
  11. Add the ground lamb to the pan and break it apart with a spatula. Cook until it's no longer pink and any excess liquid has evaporated.
  12. Pour in 1 cup of milk and stir. Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the lamb is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  13. Once the lamb is cooked and the sauce has thickened, remove the bay leaves, green cardamoms, and cloves from the mixture.
  14. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to enhance the flavor and give it a creamy finish. Stir until it's fully incorporated.
  15. Garnish your lamb kheema with the chopped fresh coriander leaves for a burst of freshness and color.
Assemble the Kheema Rolls
  1. Allow the lamb kheema filling to cool slightly.
  2. Place a portion of the kheema filling in the fluffy bread roll, or roll flatbread to create a kheema roll.
  3. Serve your delicious and aromatic Lamb Kheema Rolls hot with your favourite condiments or or chutneys. Enjoy!
