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!
