Instructions
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in green chilies and ginger-garlic paste. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and oil starts to separate, about 8 minutes.
Mix in turmeric, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook the masala for 2 minutes.
Add minced beef and cook on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
Add green peas and a splash of water if the mixture looks dry. Cover and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle garam masala and amchur powder (if using). Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes.
Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves.
To serve, heat a griddle or tawa. Slice the pav buns horizontally, spread butter on each side, and toast them on the griddle until golden and slightly crisp.
Serve the hot beef keema alongside the toasted butter pav buns.
