Vegan Mutton Keema (Soya Nuggets Curry)

Mock Mutton Curry

This is my Mom’s signature recipe that she makes every time I go home. This recipe is the best alternative for mutton kheema if you use soya granules or a mutton curry if you use soya chunks. The recipe uses all the desi ingredients and spices. Let’s dive into it.

  1. 1 cup soy chunks
