What is Keema then?

Keema (or Kheema / Qeema) is a popular Indian dish made with minced meat, typically mutton or beef.

Keema is a sort of Indian version of spaghetti bolognese or chilli con carne – easy to prepare, super tasty and equally versatile.

You can use keema with peas in all sorts of family-friendly dishes, as a filling for samosas, as Cottage Pie filling or even to top jacket potatoes (<––– SO DELISH!) and pizza!

Why is it a must make

• Beef Keema is Syn Free on Slimming World! That alone is enough to make it very popular with me and my husband.

• It's a super speedy curry recipe that can be ready in 30 minutes – unless you make it in your slow cooker that is.

• Unlike many curry dishes it has the bare minimum of spices (just curry powder) or you can use your favourite curry paste if preferred.

• It freezes well so make a double batch and put some aside for when life gets hectic!

Slow Cooker Beef Keema

I love making keema curry in my slow cooker as the meat ends up incredibly soft. It cooks in around 3 hours which is speedy for a crockpot! If you have a slow cooker that allows for searing then this is a one-pot recipe.

STEP 1 Mist a large pan (or your slow cooker if it allows for searing) with cooking spray. Add the onions, beef, curry powder and salt and stir well, breaking up the ground beef with a wooden spoon.

STEP 2 Add the garlic and ginger and brown for about 5 minutes. I use garlic and ginger paste for ease, but finely grated fresh garlic and ginger are even better.

STEP 3 Stir in the stock cube, tomato paste, passata (that's tomato purée for those across the pond) and cinnamon stick. Transfer to slow cooker, cover and cook for 3 hours on HIGH setting.

STEP 4 Uncover, stir in frozen peas and cook for a further 10-15 minutes or until the peas are tender.

STEP 5 Discard the cinnamon stick, taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Scatter sliced chillies and fresh coriander leaves before serving with some lime wedges on the side.

STOVETOP METHOD

STEP 1 Mist a large pan with cooking spray (or use olive oil / ghee). Add the onions, beef, curry powder and salt and stir well, breaking up the ground beef with a wooden spoon.

STEP 2 Once the meat is well browned, add the tomato paste, passata, and cinnamon stick. Stir everything together, adding a little water if the pan is dry. Cook, uncovered, for about 20 minutes. Stir in the peas and cook a further 5 minutes or until tender.

STEP 3 Discard the cinnamon stick, taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed.Scatter with sliced chillies and fresh coriander leaves before serving.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH BEEF KEEMA

• Rice: delicious with my golden Pilau Rice or simple basmati rice. You can also serve over cauliflower rice for a low carb / keto option.
• Naan bread or my easy yogurt flatbreads.
• You can also serve over baked potatoes, to top flatbread or pizza, stuffed into brioche buns as Sloppy Joes… really anything goes!
