Tips:
- Use a good quality mince: This will make a big difference to the flavor of your dish. Look for mince that is fresh, lean, and has a good amount of marbling.
- Don't overcook the mince: Overcooked mince is tough and dry. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Use a variety of spices: This will give your dish a complex and flavorful taste. Some good spices to use include cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and garam masala.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your own taste: If you like your dish more sweet, add more sugar. If you like it more sour, add more vinegar. And if you like it more spicy, add more chili powder.
- Serve with rice or naan bread: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Sweet and sour kheema mince is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover mince. With its sweet, sour, and spicy flavors, this dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
