Add the onions, ginger, garlic and chillies and fry till the onions begin to brown. Now, add the minced meat. Fry continuously for about 6 to 7 mins or till you feel the minced meat is almost cooked (it will change colour and texture).
Once the keema is ready, slice up the pav and warm slightly on a tawa/frying pan. Put in the prepared meat and top with finely sliced onions.
