Best 4 How To Make Lamb Keema Recipes

KEEMA WITH PEAS

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.

KEEMA (INDIAN-STYLE GROUND MEAT)

Steps:

• In a large heavy skillet over medium heat, cook ground lamb until evenly brown. While cooking, break apart with a wooden spoon until crumbled. Transfer cooked lamb to a bowl, and drain off all but 1 tablespoon fat. Saute onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, and saute 1 minute. Stir in garam masala and salt, and cook 1 minute. Return the browned lamb to the pan, and stir in tomato paste and beef broth. Reduce heat, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until meat is fully cooked through, and liquid has evaporated.

LAMB KEEMA CURRY

Steps:

• Place peas in a microwave-safe container and cover loosely. Microwave until just heated through and bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and immediately cover with cold water to stop the cooking process, preserve the color, and reinflate any dimples or puckers. Set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a nonstick frying pan or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Stir lamb, onion, and garlic into the oil. Break up the ground lamb into morsels, stirring into the onion, garlic, and oil. Cover and begin gradually browning the lamb. Cook slowly until lamb is browned and a pool of rendered fat and liquid collects in the bottom of the pan, 10 to 20 minutes. Drain all fat, oil, and liquids.
• Combine parsley, curry powder, cumin, garam masala, black pepper, cinnamon, coriander, ginger, turmeric and pepper flakes in a bowl, then stir into the lamb mixture. Cook over low heat until spices bloom, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in potatoes, tomatoes, and jalapenos. Cover and continue cooking and stirring until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Set the lid ajar and let any liquids in the bottom of the pan steam off. Drain the peas and stir them into the keema. The keema will reheat them. Garnish individual servings with cilantro leaves.

SPICY LAMB KEEMA PAU

Steps:

• First, make the buns. Heat the milk and honey in a saucepan until steaming. Add the butter, then set aside to cool. Mix the flour, cumin, yeast and 1 tsp salt in a large bowl. Add the cooled milk mixture and stir to form a dough. Tip the dough onto a work surface and knead for 10 mins until soft and stretchy, or mix with a dough hook in a food mixer for 5 mins. Return to the cleaned bowl, cover with cling film and set aside to rise for 1-2 hrs or until doubled in size.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pan. Add the onion and cook for 5 mins until soft. Add the garlic and chilli, stir for 1-2 mins, then tip in the lamb. Brown the mince all over, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, then add the tomato purée, curry powder and flour and cook for 2-3 mins more. Add the chopped tomatoes and mango chutney along with 150ml water, season well, cover and cook for 30 mins (add some more water if the mince looks too dry).
• When the dough has risen, knock out the air and divide into eight equal pieces. Shape into balls by pinching and tucking the edges into the centre, then flip over so the smooth side is on top. Arrange on one or two baking sheets lined with baking parchment. Squash each bun a little with your palm - they should be about 8cm in diameter. Cover loosely with oiled cling film and leave to rise for 30 mins or until almost doubled in size. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Check the consistency of the mince - it should be thicker than a ragu. If it's too runny, remove the lid and continue cooking until the sauce has reduced.
• Uncover the rolls, brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with cumin seeds. Bake for 20-25 mins until golden brown, then transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool. If making a day ahead, store in an airtight container.
• To serve, fry the eggs to your liking. Split the buns and lightly toast the cut sides under the grill. Pile in the spicy lamb, fried eggs, coriander, shallot and carrot. Serve with extra mango chutney and tuck in with plenty of napkins to hand.
