This beef keema is an aromatic Indian-spiced beef mince curry served with basmati rice and naan bread that can be whipped up in half an hour. Keema, in case you were wondering, is the word for mince in a number of North Indian languages. The dish is high on flavour thanks to the hardworking curry powder and aromatics. There are lots of different versions of keema, here we use beef mince, but you could use minced lamb or even minced soya for a meat-free version.Time and servings
