Keema Chana Dal | Fry Keema || How to make Keema Chana Dal with step-by-step photos 



Fried Dal Keema is a yummy, flavored, aromatic, and spicy dish. Keema or minced meat cooked with channa dal in an amazing spicy masala gravy. This delicious recipe is made by adapting to the restaurant style.

Though this recipe contains high-calorie meals as I have been telling you all traditional meals become so delicious if you make it with ghee if you have health issues then you must skip using ghee in traditional dishes. you can use healthy low-calorie oil  

 

You can make this fried keema dal with lamb, chicken, or mutton. I used beef mince additionally you can also skip chana dal from this recipe and can be served only with fried keema or added beans or green peas of your choice

WHAT IS KEEMA?

Keema literally means to mince anything. In broader terms, keema means Indian Pakistani curried minced meat. The usual ingredients are ground meat of lamb, mutton or beef, fried onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and Indian spices like cumin, turmeric, chilies, cinnamon, cardamom, clove, and pepper. Cilantro is almost always used to garnish. 

What else can I add to Keema?

If you love a combo of veggies, add green peas to make keema Matar curry or add potato to make Aloo keema curry.

 

Another trick is to fry the mince until you see a golden brown ting in qeema (browning) and the oil separates profusely. This is like searing and is called bhuna ( bhun-na) in Urdu.  Serve it with nan, chapati or roti, raita, and some fresh cucumber salad.

Recipe notes:

  1. Mincemeat: Best-tasting fried keema is made with beef mince that has 20% fat. However, for healthy options, you may take low-fat, lamb leg mince.
  2. Ghee: in this recipe, ghee is the key to enhancing the taste buds since in all traditional foods can’t be compromised with the taste but as I have mentioned above you can use oil I will recommend olive oil or corn oil
  3.  Ginger garlic: chopped ginger garlic will be used in this recipe as fresh chopped ginger garlic produces an earthly taste in the meal
  4. Bengal gram: lentil quantity 4rth part of the mincemeat, most important don’t overcook chana dal in this we require 90% cooked chana dal and the rest of 10% will be cooked with mincemeat
  5. Roasting keema: Making a delicious recipe depends on roasting keema with spices and ghee the more you roast keema the taste will enhance
  6. If you want the best-tasting keema bursting with traditionally Pakistani restaurant flavors, use fresh spices. This means using freshly minced ginger, garlic, and chilies. The fresher than better
