Keema Matar Recipe

Keema Matar | Matar Keema || How to Make Keema Matar with step-by-step photos

Keema Matar is a traditional, delicious, and mouth-watering gravy-based non-veg curry dish in Pakistan and the Indian subcontinent. Mince with green peas is a spicy dish that can be made with either minced chicken, beef, lamb, or mutton, one of my favorite dishes in my own house. My elder brother loves to have it with naan, bread loaf, and especially with crispy hot paratha.

I make sure that when you prepare this keema matar dish according to my recipe, other people will be craving to have it. It is easy to customize this keema. I have already shared keema spice masala powder in my previous post; you can find it on my blog.

Keema Matar is a delicious dinner party dish that you can easily prepare at home with simple ingredients and in no more than half an hour. Pair this with rice or roti for a wholesome meal. Ingredients of Keema Matar Recipe: A delicious blend of minced meat and peas sauteed in a thick mixture of stimulating flavors, cooked along with tomatoes, salt, coriander powder, turmeric, and chili powder for a delectable curry meal.

I made keema matar with beef mince; additionally, you can prepare keema matar with chicken keema, mutton keema, or use your choice of ground meat- chicken, beef, and lamb or you can substitute peas with potatoes. This is a gravy dish, and you can enjoy it with naan, pita bread, or plain basmati rice. The main ingredients in this recipe are mince, peas, and tomatoes with some seasoning, so let's begin with step-by-step photos.

Tips:

I prefer to cook keema matar in beef or mutton mince is better than chicken or lamb
Using desi ghee or any kind of banaspati ghee instead of oil
Ghee enhances the taste of traditional meals. If you have any health issues, then it can be cooked with olive oil or sunflower oil
Always level; try your best to use fresh ingredients like mince, tomato, or peas if possible, because fresh ingredients are much better than canned or frozen
Using fresh spices and ginger garlic paste brings aroma to cooking

I just learned this amazing,g tasty fried bhindi bhujia from her. One more thing I would like to share with all is that when I was little, first of all, I would like to share, I was a non-vegetarian person.

I never liked to eat ladyfingers or any other type of veggie, whether it was made in any form, but my mother used to force me to have this.t I always clearly refused her. Then my mother became so tired and left, saying, " You should also include veggies in your diet

One day she cooked fried bhujia and went to offer to pray; then I went off into the kitchen and just picked one slice of this. Then I remained surprised after having one piece of this delicious bhujia, so yummy and mouthwatering :) Since then, I started eating veggies :)

Bhindi can be made in many ways;s it can just be fried in several ways and also made into curries in several different ways, and it is mostly used to make different kinds of fried varieties or curry varieties. It is never used in combination with other vegetables,s and it is only combined with potatoes rarely

This yummy fried bhujia is prepared with some basic seasoning and tomato, a quick and easy side dish

Note: the ladyfinger bhujia is cooked only with extra oil,

Water won't be added to this recipe

Hardly takes 15 minutes to make this quick recipe as another vegetable.

Important points to remember while making bhindi:

Bhindi, also known as lady's finger, is a very sticky vegetable that can become difficult to handle while cutting or chopping. To avoid excessive stickiness, it is important to follow these steps

Wash the Bhindi: Begin by washing the bhindi thoroughly

Dry the Bhindi: After washing, wipe it with a cloth until it is completely dry and free of moisture. This step is crucial to prevent stickiness during cooking.

Trim and Chop: Next, chop off the head and tail of the bhindi. Then, slice it into the desired pieces. If you cut bhindi or lady's finger directly after washing, without drying it first, the entire curry or sabzi will turn out sticky. Keep these tips in mind when preparing bhindi to ensure the best results!

Simple Arbi Fry || Taro Root Fry || How to Make Arbi Fry with step-by-step photos and Video

Arbi Fry (taro roots) is a simple, easy, and delicious vegetarian dish that can be prepared within 20 minutes.

Arbi, for those who don’t know, is the Urdu name for the taro root. It has a subtly sweet taste and is often used in savory recipes in Pakistan.

Mainly, I learned this recipe from my mother, who used to make it with a very simple method, and it always tasted very good. An interesting fact about me is that I didn’t eat ladyfingers or taro root during my childhood. Whenever my mother used to cook, I didn’t eat at all.

But the first time I heard about both vegetables, I learned that they are so beneficial for bones. Since then, I started including these veggies on our menu. And Alhamdulillah, now I'm extremely fond of eating bhindi (lady-fingers) and arbi (taro root). Especially fried arbi or bhindi. I also have a FRIED BHINDI recipe on my blog.

My Latest Simple Arbi Fry:

This arbi fry is simpler, with just a few ingredients, while the masala adds onion paste and spices.

Today, I am sharing one of my favorite ways to cook arbi. This simple arbi fry is a super simple recipe where arbi is fried with spices in a large quantity of oil. And it isn’t used with water at all.

The ingredients are pretty simple; I don’t add any onion, garlic, or tomato to this arbi fry. It is just the spices tossed with lemon juice and then finished with green chilies and cilantro.

For the best result, follow my detailed step-by-step photos, video, and instructions tips and video below.

Taro Roots Health Benefits:

Taro root is a vegetable used in a variety of cuisines around the world. It has a mild, nutty taste, starchy texture, and nutritional benefits that make it a healthier alternative to other root vegetables like potatoes. Taro root is commonly added to savory dishes or fried as a snack, but it can also add creaminess and purple color to sweet recipes.

Taro is rich in nutrients that can provide important health benefits. A one-cup serving has a third of your daily recommended intake of manganese, which contributes to a good metabolism, bone health, and blood clotting.

Its high levels of vitamins can also promote healthy vision, skin, circulation, and immune system function.

Chana Anda Masala | Chole Masala | How to Make Chana Masala with step-by-step photos...

Chole Masala is aromatic and flavored chana and curry, literally mixed spice also known as Chorley. As one of the most popular dishes in the world, both in and out of India and Pakistan, it is a dish originating from the Punjab side. Chickpeas cooked in a spicy and tangy tomato-based sauce—it is the kind of dish that stirs passions in the recipe. My version might not taste like your elders like a grandmother, but I promise it tastes damn good.

The main ingredients are a variety of chickpeas called chana. Chickpeas typically include onion, chopped tomatoes, coriander seeds, and ginger-garlic; here I did a variation with a different type of blended spices along with boiled eggs and mashed potato, so let's begin.
