Keema Mince Meat and Peas Curry In Air Fryer
Keema Matar In Air-Fryer
The word Keema simply means mince. It can be prepared with any meat, but it is most commonly made with Lamb or mutton mince. It is a tasty dish, especially popular with children, because they do not have to chew the meat. It can be served with any Indian fresh flat bread or rice, even served on a jacket potato. Here I have cooked it an air fryer. This saves time and generates less washing up.
Serves 2-4
Ingredients
- 300 gm. lean mince lamb (or beef, lamb, pork, chicken)
- 1 small cup frozen or shelled peas (approximate amount)
- 1 medium onion
- 1 cloves garlic (optional)
- 1 tsp chopped or grated ginger root
- 100 gm. tinned or fresh, chopped tomatoes
- 1 1/2 tbsp. olive or other oil
- 1 tsp. cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp. turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp. chilli powder, adjust to taste
- 1 tsp. coriander powder
- 1 level tsp. paprika powder, for colour
- Salt to taste, 1 tsp. approximately
- 1/2 tsp. Garam Masala
Instructions
- Peel, wash and grind/grate/finely chop onion, ginger and garlic, either in a food processor or by hand.
- If using fresh tomatoes, wash and chop into small pieces. I usually used tinned ones for cooking.
- Measure spices and keep aside.
- Place oil, onion, ginger and garlic if used. Air fry for 3-4 minutes. Onions should look slightly golden.
- Meanwhile, mix all spices listed to chopped tomatoes and blend.
- Now add this mix to the fried onions.
- Air fry for 3-4 minutes. You will see a thin film of oil shinning at the edges.
- Add Mincemeat and stir in well. Air fry for 4 minutes.
- Add peas, I use frozen ones, stir them in. Add a little water and air fry for another 3-4 minutes.
- Adjust salt and chillies. Stir in Garam masala and 2/3rd of the chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve hot with Boiled Rice or Chapatties Nan.
