Keema Matar


-serves 3-4
When it comes to simple and easy home-cooked Indian, this keema matar recipe takes the cake - exactly 40 minutes from start to finish. Infused with aromatic herbs and spices, this North-Indian/Pakistani dish of minced lamb and green peas can be made using just a handful of fresh ingredients and of course quality fatty lamb (coz' fat = flavor). The whole caramelized onion + fresh tomatoes + yogurt combination works like magic with rich lamb keema and explosions of sweet garden peas. Scoop up the end result with freshly made chapatis or naan; even better if you've got buttery bread buns called "Pao" or lightly toasted Ciabatta.
