Cooking with keema​

Here at Simply, we are big fans of Keema. Inspired by South Asian cuisine, Keema is usually made into a curry using lamb mince and peas. The ingredients can vary, but generally consist of lamb mince, garlic, ginger, chilli, onions and garam masala or curry powder. All the ingredients are cooked in one pan, creating a delicious dish bursting with flavour.

Lamb Keema

What can I make with keema?

Keema is perfect for those who are short on time and looking for a meal that the whole family will love. We love the versatility that comes with cooking with keema. It can be served as a traditional Indian dish with a side of rice and naan, or can be combined with classics like a pasta bake for a flavoursome dish with a twist!

Keema is a great base for many different dishes making it ideal for batch cooking. Simply whip up a batch of keema over the weekend and freeze portions ready for weekly meals whenever you need them. Check out our tasty Lamb Keema recipe below, plus some of our favourite dishes you can make with a keema base.
