Keema Indian Recipe

This fragrant, Indian savory mixture makes a great weeknight meal for family and friends. Serve it with rice, or alongside warm Indian flat bread. 1. Heat a medium, heavy-bottomed skillet over a medium-high flame. When very hot, add the meat and stir to break up any lumps.

3. Add the minced onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.

4. Stir in the ginger and continue cooking for one minute. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.

5. Add the coriander, cumin, turmeric and chili powder.

6. Add the tomatoes and salt; stir well.

7. Gradually stir in the water, 1/4 cup at a time.

8. Stir in the peas and cook until heated.

9. Serve immediately.

Preparation Time:

Mattar Paneer Indian Recipe

Like many Indian dishes this only improves with age, so feel free to make it a day or two ahead. Serve over basmati rice with cilantro chutney. Perfection!

Koftas Indian Recipe

These tiny Indian meatballs make a delicious and unusual appetizer for parties. You can prepare and shape the balls a day ahead, then cook them just before serving. Serve them with Cilantro Chutney and fresh limes.

Chana Masala
Indian Recipe

This spiced chickpea mixture is delicious served with plain rice or, better yet, perfectly cooked basmati rice. Like most Indian food, Chana Masala is even more flavorful when prepared a day or two in advance.


.Served with fluffy basmati rice, these delicious meatballs make a perfect casual supper. In India, they would typically be made with ground mutton (sheep), but Iâve found that the flavor of American lamb is too overpowering. Good quality ground chuck is a great substitute.
