Method

  1. Chop the onion, garlic, ginger and chillies together in a food processor. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the mixture until it becomes very fragrant. Add the mince and fry until it begins to brown, stirring to break up any lumps.
  2. Add the spices and fry for 1 min. Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer, cook for 1 min, then stir in the yogurt, some salt and a good grind of black pepper. Add a splash of water if you need to, then cook the mixture for 30 mins. Add the frozen peas and cook for 5 mins, then stir in the coriander. Serve with Indian breads or poppadums, chutney and some more yogurt.

    My wife and Mother in law make this all the time (being Punjabis). We also eat it in kebab form, in pittas - with combinations of Raita or Tzatsiki, and salad. Make sure the keema and pittas are warm. Also Mexican style, in a soft tortilla with sour cream / guacamole etc. Buon Appetito!

    This was easy to make and great with nan breads, yogurt and chutneys as suggested. We also had chopped cucumber and tomatoes on the side.

    The Keema was such a pleasant surprise! I really didn't think it was going to taste as good as it did and that it would be such a big hit with the family. I made double the quantity of Keema earlier in the day and left it to stand for a few hours before reheating for dinner. I do believe this did it justice and imagine it would be even better the following day. I was one tbsp short of garam masala so used one tbsp of mild curry powder to make up the quantity. It's definitely one I will be making again and next time I think I will try turning it into a one-pot by adding some caulifower and salad potatoes. My intention was to freeze the leftovers but there weren't any!! They scoffed the lot! :-)

    Hmmm - not sure what was wrong with this but it just wasn't a hit. The general flavour was fine but we didn't find it at all spicy. If I made it again I would put some more chilli or maybe some curry paste in

    Made this for dinner last night and it was very well received. Had it with some rice which really bulked it out and made it fantastic dinner. Because my girlfriend can't eat tomatoes we substituted them for our own homemade red pepper sauce which gave it this amazing sweet and spicy quality. We will certainly be making this again!

    Really packed full of flavour and so simple and quick to make. Also a great base for adding other things to to give it a different twist as others have said. Highly recommended.

    Was very pleasantly surpsied at this recipe as I am not normally a big fan of lamb mince. Next time I will probably add the whole tin of tomatoes as we prefer our currys slightly less dry.

    I am vegetarian but found this recipe when looking for something to do with some left over quorn mince. I thought it was really lovely - though needs more liquids in it - I used all the tomatoes and an extra spoon of yogurt, as well as some water. The flavor was great though. Very nice and easy curry.

    I would never order Keema anything in an Indian restaurant but I was looking for an interesting way to use up some minced lamb and it was absolutely delicious.

    Just had this for lunch in a jacket potato. Easy to make, used a carton of passata instead of the tomatoes which made a good sauce. Next time I'll make it spicier but still pretty good.
