Mince is an all-time useful standby – quick to cook and adaptable. This keema is a fast, spicy way to pep it up for a quick midweek meal.
Fab! I asked the Indian lady who owns the shop next door to where I work what else she would put in it. On her advice, I added half a teaspoon of fresh, ground root ginger (grated) and half a teaspoon of crushed green chillies, crushed them both together and added with the rest of the spices. It was amazing! - 25 Aug 2012
this beef keema is an excellent meal, really enjoyable to make and eat. it feels like you are making a really complex flavor from scratch, but its pretty easy. The only tweak would be that i used a small tin of chickpeas instead of normal peas. serve with a brown pitta bread and maybe some kind of mint yoghurt. - 12 May 2009
Wonderful flavours. It was too watery the first time I made it, so I added couscous which turned out to be great. And after having made it without couscous, I'd say I like it better with. You can taste the spices more and not have an overpowering meat and pea flavour, which is my personal opinion. Everyone else in the house loves it both ways. ---- (recently tried serving with wild/brown rice - tops them all) --- *I forgot to add that I use low fat turkey mince in about 99% of recipes I make that call for mince anything. I use it so often that I didn't even realize this recipe called for beef. - 13 Aug 2011
