description Aloo Keema Overview
Aloo keema is a widely consumed South Asian curry consisting of minced meat (keema) and cubed potatoes (aloo) simmered in a spiced gravy. The minced meat used is typically lamb, mutton, beef, or chicken, which is cooked alongside aromatics like onions, garlic, and ginger, and a blend of spices such as turmeric, cumin, and garam masala. The potatoes break down slightly during cooking, helping to thicken the sauce and absorb the flavors of the broth. It is a common, hearty everyday household meal in India and Pakistan, usually served with flatbread or rice.
