What is 'keema' and how it is prepared?
Keema, also spelled keema or qeema, is a popular Indian dish featuring minced meat. This flavorful curry combines the protein punch of ground lamb, goat, beef, or even chicken with aromatic spices, onions, and tomatoes. The key to keema lies in the slow-cooking process, which allows the spices to release their warmth and meld with the meat, creating a rich and comforting gravy. Typically enjoyed with rice or flatbreads like roti or paratha, keema is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own or used as a filling for samosas.
