Keema Masala / Stir-fried Indian Minced Meat Masala



Keema masala is very popular in Indian restaurants as a side dish with Maida Parotta or with chapathis... It can be made with chicken, beef or mutton mince.... Usually they add peas along with the mince; but I substituted it with carrots... Keema masala goes well with Indian flatbreads, Palappam or Vellayappam… Also this is great as a wrap inside chappathi, as a topping for keema dosa or can be used as a stuffing for Keema Paratha or stuffed buns or even as a stuffing for Idiyappam...Do try and if you get more ideas on how to use this, do let me know :)....
