  • Keema is described by Madhur Jaffrey as the first Indian dish that all Indian students abroad learn how to make and I can see why. First off, It's just flat delicious and probably reminds them of home. Second, it's quite easy, so let's make it.

      This is hilarious as a demonstraton of how peculiar the English language can be. In Australia "mad" usually means "crazy, bonkers, nuts, insane" MUCH more than it means "cranky, angry, cross, annoyed". So, here, "not mad about it" means "I am not crazy for it", or more bluntly, "I don't like it".
      You can imagine how surprised I was when it looked like Julius was saying "Ethan is just copying Madhur Jaffrey, and I don't like it", and then Ethan gives it a bit of online love! We really ARE divided by a common language :-)

    The only suggestion I would make is the onions need to be cooked till brown to get the full flavour. Browning onions is the secret to South Asian food. I cook the onions 5 minutes till translucent before I add the ginger garlic so they don't burn. Then cook them both till brown. Also cook the sauce till you see some oil separation, then add the meat. Just a suggestion to get the full "desi" impact :)

    This honestly is one of my favourite Indian dishes and I’m glad you made such an authentic recipe. A key thing I would like to add though is that keema is very popular to eat with something called a Pav (it’s a type of soft bread roll) and personally I’d say keema tastes 10x better when eaten with a type of bread as compared to rice. Nonetheless, amazing video keep up the great work! 🙌🏼

    The biggest tip I can give to you Ethan is to learn how to make Daal. Daal=lentils but usually refers to a a thin and smooth lentil soup(textures/taste always vary between families, kinda like miso soup in Japan). Daal can be eaten like a soup but it's very popular to mix daal with the rice and then eat that alongside Keema or any other dish. Atleast where I'm from, we rarely eat dishes with plain rice as it's always accompanied by daal. Like I said there are some exceptions like butter chicken, biryani etc. and also if the rice is a seasoned rice, then there's usually no need for daal.
    Just a quick heads up and I highly recommend it for especially Keema. Daal, rice and Keema is probably one of the best things out there!

Both are made from lentils, yet they are eaten completely differently. Daal is always mixed with rice and then eaten. Also I told him about daal which elevates keema.

      Yeah we don't really have it as a main dish itself, normally it's cooked a lot drier (but spiced still the same, with cubed potatoes and peas) and mainly used as a samosa filling. I've experimented making more keema dishes with my mum by making it more sauce based (like in this video), and it's criminal we don't have this as a staple curry lol. Also try chicken keema, it's a lot drier so it needs slightly more oil during cooking, but it goes down a treat with more vegetables involved (peas, broccoli, carrots, potatoes, runner beans and bell pepper), as the chicken keema tends to reduce more during cooking, therefore leaving more room for other ingredients.
