Lamb Keema Recipe - Spiced Minced Lamb

Ms. Nava presents lamb keema, a savory and versatile dish that varies across different regions, each with its unique twist (MUTTON RENDANG: CLASSIC AND TRADITIONAL). This flavorful preparation typically features minced lamb, enhanced by a blend of aromatic spices. Depending on personal preference, you can incorporate ingredients such as potatoes and green peas for added texture and taste. The process of making keema is straightforward and accessible, making it an ideal choice for a satisfying meal (EASY MUTTON CURRY). Additionally, I will share creative ways to repurpose any leftover keema into lighter dishes for future enjoyment.

Stir well and remove from heat.

This variation of keema features sliced button mushrooms in place of potatoes and green peas, along with the aromatic addition of curry leaves for enhanced flavor.

Lamb Keema Salad: A Fresh Twist

If you have leftover lamb keema, consider transforming it into a refreshing salad for a lighter meal or starter. Simply toss the keema with rocket salad or your choice of mixed greens, diced tomatoes, and diced cucumbers. Voilà!

Lamb Keema Sandwich: Quick and Tasty

Did you know you can repurpose leftover lamb keema into delicious sandwiches? It’s simple: toast slices of bread, spread the keema on top, and add sliced watercress and tomato. Finish with another slice of toast. This makes for a convenient breakfast to take to work, a satisfying lunch, or a light dinner option.
