Smoked Keema Masala!!

The method of this recipe is inspired from Atul’s  Nepali bhutwa mutton
(Thank you).
I added in a bit by creating my own red paste and a few changes here n there.
The outcome was superb!!

Ingredients :

800 grams Minced Mutton (Keema)
3 onions sliced
2 tomatoes (cut in two halves and place them in a micro proof bowl and heat for 
3 mins,grind to a puree when cool)
1 cinnamon stick
2 green cardamoms
7-8 cloves or laung (freshly ground,keep aside to be used at the end)
Salt
Mustard oil- ¾ th of a cup

Red paste- (Grind the below to a fine paste,add very lil water)
1 garlic pod
4 dry red chillies
½ tsp turmeric powder
3 green chillies
2 tsp Meat masala or 1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp red chilly powder

Method:
Heat Mustard oil in a pressure cooker or a deep Pan.Burn the mustard oil and 
take off heat,add in the cinnamon stick and green cardamoms.Once the oil gets 
flavoured,return to heat and  add in the sliced onions ,sauté till golden brown 
(on a slow flame).Now add in the keema (I got the meat washed before getting it
 minced,as washing it post loses the flavour).Bhuno the keema with salt on high 
heat for 10 mins on high heat to seal the juices.Now lower the flame and let it bhuno
 for good 15-20 minutes till the keema changes color,add splashes of water in between.
Now  tilt the cooker so that the oil flows on the side  and sauté the ground red paste in
 this oil for 2-3mins.Mix the masala and keema well and cook for another 5 mins.
Add the tomato puree and let it cook well till it leaves oil.Add in 1-2 cups of water.
Once keema is completely  done,mix in the ground clove powder  and take off heat.
Keep it covered for 10 minutes.

Now comes the smoking part (my fav):
Heat a small piece of charcoal.Once red hot place it in a katori(steel bowl).
Immediately place this katori over the keema,pour half a tsp of ghee over 
the charcoal and cover the cooker with a lid.Let it smoke the keema  for 5-7 mins .
Take the Katori out  and your Smoked Keema is ready!!!Enjoyyy
