Saturday Kitchen - Lamb and Mushroom Keema Recipe


This weeks Saturday Kitchen Recipe is my Lamb and Mushroom Keema. This recipe is a big favourite in my house because it is just simply delicious!

The minced lamb with the blend of herbs and spices, then the mellowness of the mushrooms and the refreshing bite of the coriander is divine. If you love curry then this weeks Saturday kitchen recipe is for you, why not give my lamb and mushroom keema a go and taste it's aromatic wonders for yourself.




Ingredients
1 Red Onion (blended)
2 Peeled Tomatoes (blended)
3-4 Inch Fresh Ginger
3-4 Garlic Cloves (blended with ginger and a drop of water)
1 Red Chilli (de-seeded & diced)
1 Green Capsicum (de-seeded & diced)
2 Green Chillis (left whole)
2 Large Flat Mushroom (chunks)
Olive Oil
Pack Minced Lamb
Fresh Coriander Leaves

Spices
1 tsp Cumin Seeds

1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 Tbsp Garam Masala

note.....' you can add tiny drops of water and or oil as you go along, but never pour in too much water, a little at a time is best otherwise your curry will become a stew.'
