KHEEMA ( Minced Meat)
What's not to like about Kheema? It's tasty, quick and can be used In a number of ways. I use the left overs, if any the next morning as a stuffing in an omelette. It tastes great! Or then just toss it in pasta, and you have an Indian version of a meat pasta! Usually, I add peas and even boiled potato pieces in, but since the darling husband likes it just straight, without the " fillers" as he calls them.... Here goes.
Ingredients
( for 4 people)
1 pound ground meat. (Beef, lamb ,chicken or turkey) I use beef.
1 1/2 big onions chopped finely
1 big tomato puréed
4-5 green chilies ground
2 TS sambar powder ( available at Indian grocery)
3 TS dhannajeera powder( ground coriander and cumin)
1/2 TS garam masala( avoid if you don't want it too spicy)
2 Tbs ginger garlic paste
2 Tbs red chili paste. ( dry red chilies ground with garlic)
(If you don't have this, it's ok to avoid) use 1 Ts red chili powder
3 Tbs sharan Kheema curry masala. ( Indian store) ( cut down if you don't like it spicy. You can always stir in more later if you want)
2-3 Tbs tomato catsup
Oil
Method
Marinate meat in ginger garlic paste and red chili paste.
Heat oil and fry onions and green chilis till onion is golden brown.
Add all the dry masalas and fry for two minutes, add minced meat. Stir and cook till meat is almost cooked. About 8-10 minutes, stir so it does not stick to pan.
Add tomato purée and catsup. Add a little water. Not too much unless you want a little gravy. At this stage add the pre boiled potatoes and peas.
Cover and simmer on low for ten minutes.
Check for salt and add more catsup according to your taste.
Serve with pav. ( I use the Cuban sandwich bread)
You can also eat this with the khichri. Just needs more gravy for that.
Next morning or lunch, just heat kheema and fold in an omelette! Tastes great!
