An authentic Indian spiced ground (minced) beef recipe known as Qeema (or keema or kheema). This is a gem of a recipe because it tastes incredible but unlike many Indian dishes, there are no hard-to-find spices in the ingredients. And it's super fast - on the table in 20 minutes! Serve over basmati rice. Great with plain yogurt, even better with Mint Yogurt.
