Method

  1. Heat a pan over medium‑high heat and add the ground lamb, cooking until it changes color and is browned, stirring frequently.

  2. Add cumin, chili powder, and paprika to the meat and stir to coat evenly.

  3. Add a generous glob of butter, allowing it to melt completely into the spiced lamb.

  4. Stir in the chili oil and continue cooking for another minute to blend the flavors.

  5. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder into the yogurt, or alternatively combine the minced fresh garlic with the yogurt for a brighter flavor.

  6. Poach three eggs to your desired doneness.

  7. Plate the spicy buttery keema, top with the poached eggs, and drizzle the garlic‑yogurt mixture over the dish if desired.

Cook the ground lamb until it changes color and is browned before adding any spices.
Melt butter completely
