NOTES
1. Make sure the onions are finely chopped to get the authentic indian qeema taste. Otherwise, the onions will be too chunky and won’t mesh into the meat by the time the qeema is completely cooked.
2. You can substitute the garlic and ginger that goes in the qeema with garlic and ginger paste – but trust me the flavor will not be the same. What makes this recipe special is its fresh ingredients!
3. Top off the qeema with some julienned ginger and chopped green chillies.
4. A green coriander and mint chutney goes really well with this minced meat recipe!
