Beef and Spinach Keema Recipe

As you will be able to tell by looking at my blog, I totally love keema curries.

Keema is a curry made using minced meat that can be eaten with bread, dosa or rice.

Today I cooked a beef and spinach keema curry and it tasted fabulous. If you have never tried spinach in an Indian style curry then you really must as the combination of spices, onions and spinach is out of this world.

I ate mine with fluffy brown rice made using my pressure cooker.

Spinach is high in Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Folate, Magnesium, Iron and many more Vitamins and Minerals.

This recipe is really easy to cook with my step-by-step picture recipe guide to help you along the way.

You can add as little or as much chilli as you like, extra mushrooms also taste good in this recipe.

The smell of this tasty curry is amazing so remember to take in all those lovely aromas as you cook it.

You can make fabulous Indian style recipes at home too so get cooking with Jeena.
