Sausage Kheema Mutter

Till now I have owed dishes to my mom, cousins & a host of friends. However this next dish has been inspired after watching my dad in action. In my dad’s variant, he uses authentic minced mutton. However since my husband has been lazy enough to grace the local meat market, I have substituted the minced meat with minced sausages. Any minced meat/poultry product should serve as a substitute too.
