This vegetarian recipe is replacement for mutton kheema masala. Mixed minced vegetables and grated paneer are used to make this kheema masala recipe. It is important to mince or grate the vegetables very finely to get the desired kheema texture.

To make kheema masala recipe with vegetables I have used cauliflower, carrots, capsicum and grated paneer. I have minced the cauliflower and carrot in the food processor.
