We love a good curry and this keema curry is ready in under 30 minutes! Using minced beef for a relatively inexpensive curry that has a hearty meaty, flavour. It has subtle sweet pops from the peas that complement the aromatic spices beautifully and a heat level you can adapt to suit everyones tastes.

This minced beef curry is sure to be a winner with the family!

The translation of Keema means ‘minced meat or ground meat’.

A traditional Indian keema curry in India would be made with minced lamb or mutton. In quite a few British Indian restaurants you’ll find it using minced beef and that’s what I like to use.
