Spicy minced Meat (Keema)

 

Keema or Spicy Minced Meat is a traditional Indian dish and can be prepared with any minced meat.  My favorite meat would be minced lamb or Goat.  It is easy to make and tastes delicious.  It can be served with any Rice dish or with Indian breads like Parathas, Chapathis, Naans, etc. Enjoy!

Ingredients

Minced Meat (Ground Beef/Ground Lamb/Ground turkey) - 1 pound.
Onion - 2 medium.
Tomato - 1 big
Green Chillies - 3-4
Garlic paste - 1 tsp
Ginger paste - 1 tsp
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
Coriander powder - 1 tsp
Cumin powder - 1 tsp
Garam masala - 1 tsp
Salt
Curry leaves
Cilantro leaves
Method

Heat 3-4 tbsp of oil in a pan and add cumin seeds.  When the cumin seeds splutter, add the onions, green chillies and curry leaves now.  Saute the onions until they are golden color.  Add the ginger and garlic paste and fry them for 2-3 minutes.

Add the chopped tomatoes and add the spices - turmeric powder, chilli powder, cumin powder, coriander powder and salt to taste.  Add the minced meat and let the meat cook well in the onion/tomato mixture with the spices. Stir the meat often and add the garam masala and let the minced meat cook well.  When the oil separates from the meat, add the Cilantro leaves.
