After one whistle slow down the flame , let it cook for at least 15 to 20 minutes.
Let the steam remove ,now open the cooker and check if there is any water left reduce it by keeping the cooker on flame. Stir to dry up the qeema.
Now grind the qeema in a mixer or by using a sill-batta. It will be better for taste if you grind the qeema on a sill-batta. Put the grinded mixture in a big bowl . Now, cut the green chillies in very small pieces and chop the two onions which we had left before very finely, cut coriander leaves and mix all these ingredients in qeema ,add salt to taste, add 1 teaspoon of red chilly powder. Squeeze one lemon into it and mix very very well with your hands. Make kabaabs (round patties) with this mixture.
 Now put a flat, thick bottomed pan (tawaa) on gas stove. Heat two tablespoons of refined or vegetable oil. When the oil gets heated, shallow fry four kababs at one time. When one side of the kabab turn brown in color flip it and fry from the other side till the other side gets brown too. Do this process on a medium flame. In this way fry four kababs each time till all of the kababs get fried.
