"Want a shortcut with more flavors? Try our CURRY POWER seasoning to substitute turmeric and garam masala! Note: A keema is a richly fragrant, dry-style ground meat curry, popular in Northern India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, typically made with ground lamb or beef. It was a firm favorite dinner when I was growing up and was one of my mum’s regular moves to magic a budget-cut of meat into something luxurious tasting. My recipe is inspired by Charmain Solomon’s keema matar (ground meat curry with peas), but you’ll often find recipes for keema aloo (with potatoes) as well. Instead of choosing, in this recipe I’ve gone for both staple vegetables (I don’t know about you, but I always have a bag of frozen peas in the freezer), and the result is a reliably affordable, filling, and nourishing meal. Served with basmati rice, absolutely no one is going to go hungry!"
