I made Lamb Keema tonight and it tasted fantastic!
I served it with Punjabi Basmati Rice that was fragranced with star anise and clove. Both dishes complimented each other so very well. We really enjoyed eating this lamb keema recipe, I am sure you will enjoy it just as much!

Olive Oil
Fry up your sliced onion until golden brown then add your blended onions and cook until it goes golden and more dry. Blend up your chili, garlic and ginger (you may need a tiny drop of water also) and add to your pan - turn down the heat a simmer.
Blend up your tomatoes and stir well keep simmering.
Add your fennel seeds, turmeric, paprika, cumin seeds and coriander seed. Stir well. You can drizzle in a little more oil if needed.
Add your red and green peppers/capsicums. Keep simmering.
Add your lamb and keep stiring well. Then add your dried herbs ground cumin and ground coriander. Add a drizzle of water(remember not too much water you don't want to turn your keema into a stew!)
Keep simmering add your Garam Masala with a drop more oil.
Simmer for a few more minutes stiring well.
I ate my lamb keema with basmati rice - once I boiled the rice I added a star anise and 3 cloves to my pan before I steamed the rice off with a lid. The rice was just lightly fragranced it went perfect with my lamb keema!
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

hi Jeena ,
Thanks for visiting my blog ....great to see this lovely recipe .....used to be a favorite of mine :-) maybe I will make it again one of these days ..Keep up the cooking and blogging ...
This is wonderful Jeena! I just make my first curry about a month ago and it just happened to be a Kheema! Yours is a bit different though, and looks amazing! I love the way the sauce in yours turns kind of pinkish! Very yummy indeed!
Slurp!!!!!! Jeena, this is really great looking dish girl!:))
Thanks, kids would love it.
basmati rice and keema...i can smell the aroma! the pictures look tempting!!!
I love Lamb Kheema, specially with green peas and eaten with Indian Bread/pav...your version with peppers is new avenue for me to try...thanks for commenting on Shahi Mutton kofta curry
Delicious looking lamb kheema and a nice recipe. I do it pretty much the same way, except that I have not used capsicums, methi and mint. Will try your version next time. Thanks for sharing.
Kheema looks great

Hi Padma I love keema with peas too! I agree lovely with bread. :)
Hi Kribha let me know how it goes next time. :)
Hey Happ thanks for comment. :)
Hey Jeena this dish looks great : ) And the rice looks really fluffy. For some reason I always have trouble cooking my brown basmati rice. How exactly is your method of boiling and then steaming?
Hey Carolina :) Here is how I cook my basmati rice.......I bring my water to the boil then I rinse my rice in a sieve to get as much of the starch out as I can. I generally just use enough water to cover my rice twice, double the amount of rice.......I boil it for approx 10 minutes then I put a lid on the pan and turn the heat off... I leave it for a another 15 minutes or so to steam. I might do a recipe for you Carolina that might help. :) If you are cooking with brown rice you may want to boil it for longer because of the texture. I hope this helps. :)
Hi Jeena, I can see that visiting your blog will be a spice-fest...I love it!

Hi B, I'm glad you liked my lamb keema recipe thank you fo rthe great feedback.
Keep logging on to my food recipe blog becaue I update daily. Thanks for stopping by. :-)
I just made this and it was delicious. My husband loved it too.
Recipe looks good! Photos really help novice like me to actually attempt cooking.
btw, what do you mean blend onions/tomatos?
Thanks again for posting this recipe!
Hi there, chop the onions roughly and place into a small blender to form a paste, the same applies for the tomatoes.
If you do not have a blender you can grate the onions or dice them as small as you can. Also a tin of tomatoes or some passata can work ok in this recipe.
Do tell others to visit as I update daily with brand new recipes.
Thanks, Jeena. :-)
mmmmmm...... yummyyyyyyyy
Wow. The pics look so good. I am about to try this recipe now!
you didnt mention how many tomatoes to use...
