    Keema Curry with vegetables is a great way to get in more veggies with a delectable minced meat base. An easy and quick weeknight meal that can be paired with rice or roti.

    Keema Curry with Vegetables

    If you want an easy, quick meal with minced meat that ticks all the right boxes look no further. This dish is on weekly rotation in my house. We all love it. My kids don't know they are getting a dose of vegetables with one of their favourite curries.

    It pairs nicely with roti or rice. I have homemade wholewheat roti featured in the photos. And that's what my husband and kids use to scoop out this wonderful curry.

    For me, nothing beats a bowl of steamy rice with ladles of keema curry on top. And a side of salad or cucumbers.

    I get my minced meat at Costco in bulk. That's very cost effective and I stretch it out to last a month. I portion out the meat into 500g (1.1 pounds) packs and freeze it. I thaw it overnight in the counter whenever I want some mince for a meal next day. If I forget to thaw, I just nuke in the microwave till it's defrosted. So there are quite a few minced meat dishes on rotation in my house.

    This dish is so versatile. It falls into the category of Cook once, eat it in different ways. Here are some of the things I've done using this keema curry.

    • Serve with roti or on a bed of rice
    • Mix into spaghetti or macaroni
    • Stuff them in burger buns and call them sloppy joes
    • Great on toast
    • Amazing on pizza( heat the curry till it's dry) I've packed these in my kids lunch box too.
    • Serve it on mashed potatoes. Did you see my last post on the best fluffy garlic mashed potatoes with keema curry on top? Amazing !!! Definitely worth checking it out if you have leftover mash from the holiday meal.

      Mmmm, this is a new one to me. I love curry but do not eat meat. Do you think chickpeas or lentils would be a good substitute?

        Yes Catherine. You can use lentils or chickpeas and canned or precooked would be better.
