Keema Pulao Recipe

Instructions

• Step 1

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 4–5 minutes, until soft and golden. Stir in garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  Step 2

• Add ground meat and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned and cooked through. Add turmeric, cumin, coriander, garam masala, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat evenly. Optional: Stir in fresh cilantro or mint just before turning off the heat.

  Step 3

• Cook the Mahatma® Ready to Heat Red Beans & Rice according to package instructions. Carefully open and fluff with a fork. 

  Step 4

• Gently fold the rice into the cooked keema in the skillet (or layer it if you prefer). Garnish with sliced green chilies, fresh mint, or cilantro.

  Step 5

• Serve hot, optionally with cucumber-tomato salad or plain yogurt on the side.

   

  Cooking Tips:

  Want to make it vegetarian? Substitute ground meat with plant-based ground meat or textured vegetable protein (TVP).

  Add frozen peas or diced carrots with the keema for extra nutrition.
  

  Leftovers reheat well and make an excellent lunch the next day.
