@Sanji Sahlan Moderate Hindus don't eat Beef. It's a religious thing. But yes. Irreligious or liberal ones do. Just like moderate Muslims don't eat Pork.
The only suggestion I would make is the onions need to be cooked till brown to get the full flavour. Browning onions is the secret to South Asian food. I cook the onions 5 minutes till translucent before I add the ginger garlic so they don't burn. Then cook them both till brown. Also cook the sauce till you see some oil separation, then add the meat. Just a suggestion to get the full "desi" impact :)
This is hilarious as a demonstraton of how peculiar the English language can be. In Australia "mad" usually means "crazy, bonkers, nuts, insane" MUCH more than it means "cranky, angry, cross, annoyed". So, here, "not mad about it" means "I am not crazy for it", or more bluntly, "I don't like it". You can imagine how surprised I was when it looked like Julius was saying "Ethan is just copying Madhur Jaffrey, and I don't like it", and then Ethan gives it a bit of online love! We really ARE divided by a common language :-)
Growing up with parents from Pakistan I ate this literally at least one a week. Often with Naan or roti the first night, then as a sort of bolognese with pasta and sometimes even as a component in lasagna or a pirogue/pasty.
Can alternatively Add habanero pepper and (boiled egg white bits or potato pieces ) instead of peas Real Kheema is always made with goat or lamb. Chicken or turkey don’t taste as good and beef is not my first choice in meat
Pakistanis and Indians will forever confuse every person in the world about their cuisine by referring to goat as lamb xD. AFAIK in India, its mostly goat, not lamb.
We intentionally make more than what we can have in one meal (typically dinner) so that the next day for breakfast you can mix the leftovers with scrambled eggs. Needless to say, it elevates scrambled eggs to a whole another level
@@EthanChlebowski my grandmother used to fill this in Naan dough and make it Keema Naan , or you can use roti dough and make a keema parauntha . Epic it is . It sounds strange but it goes really well with black lentil daal
Normally cooking channels are all about getting the best flavour without considering caloric content. You cant really cook those on a daily basis so I love this channel for being a middle ground. Great work Ethan!
First Chicken Karahi and now Kheema. This is turning out to be quite the adventurous journey through the Asian sub-continent and I am all here for it! Thanks Moustache-man!
@@Sh3rloki that's not how the word works. Asia is the continent, and india, pakistan, and bangladesh are grouped as a subcontinet. Since India is not a continent, it can't hold any subcontinents.
@@TheGamersDen the "Indian" in "Indian subcontinent", "Indian food" etc doesn't refer only to the country of India, but rather the larger cultural continent encompassed by the classical idea of "India"
I never had true Indian food until recently when the hotel my sister works at had a Christmas party, the owners of the company are from India and they made some of their favorite food and it literally changed my whole way of thinking about food, the spices are so complex and wonderful, Indian is for sure my favorite type of food now.
True, "indian" food in the west is just chicken tikka masala, naan, samosa(atleast most of it).. there are so much variety that needs to put out there.
I learned making Keema during my college years. My friends and I used to have keema tacos or keema & rice all the time. We used to throw in diced red/yellow bell peppers and frozen veggie mix (diced carrots, peas and corns).
@Lawrence Weston in the western part of India keema is mostly eaten with pav which isn't a "normal bread" bt a local white bread, nd it's called keema pav when eaten together, i can understand that u might think Indians only eat one type of bread when eating thr traditional food bt no, we also eat with many kinds of bread, nd pav is better to eat with keema as it is more spongey nd soaks up the fat released by the keema
Keema is also a lovely food for toddlers and young children. This is our cultural “Mac and cheese” or our “hamburger helper.” This is why students learn when abroad because it is comfort food that we have regularly.
This honestly is one of my favourite Indian dishes and I’m glad you made such an authentic recipe. A key thing I would like to add though is that keema is very popular to eat with something called a Pav (it’s a type of soft bread roll) and personally I’d say keema tastes 10x better when eaten with a type of bread as compared to rice. Nonetheless, amazing video keep up the great work! 🙌🏼
The biggest tip I can give to you Ethan is to learn how to make Daal. Daal=lentils but usually refers to a a thin and smooth lentil soup(textures/taste always vary between families, kinda like miso soup in Japan). Daal can be eaten like a soup but it's very popular to mix daal with the rice and then eat that alongside Keema or any other dish. Atleast where I'm from, we rarely eat dishes with plain rice as it's always accompanied by daal. Like I said there are some exceptions like butter chicken, biryani etc. and also if the rice is a seasoned rice, then there's usually no need for daal. Just a quick heads up and I highly recommend it for especially Keema. Daal, rice and Keema is probably one of the best things out there!
@@iamdanyboy1 no, haleem is brown in colour as oppose to daal which is usually yellow in colour. The process and ingredient lists vary alot, daal is fairly simple to make. Both are made from lentils, yet they are eaten completely differently. Daal is always mixed with rice and then eaten. Also I told him about daal which elevates keema.
@@usmankashif6192 Heh. Well honestly I don't like that too much. Because I guess Keema is a bit more of an exotic thing to me that we have only with Pulao and stuff. With rice , we have daal, chicken and veggies every day anyway. Having said that when I cook stuff myself, ngl. I always go for Khichdi tho xD.
It happened again - I asked myself the question, “What should I make with this ground beef?” Little did I know, I’d soon find out by the mustachioed man himself
@Avinash Arvind but yeah,alot of indians eat beef, sure the majority are hindus but thing is, theres so many people in india that even the minorities are a shit ton of people
I’ve never in my 26 years of living and few years of working in kitchens, have seen peas that big before. Holy moly I thought they were some sort of green berries
Being just a college student, and especially now considering the pandemic, I have been using ground beef mote often since it's a bit cheaper. I usually cook with potatoes (can never go wrong with potatoes), but never really used peas or so many spices. Sounds really delicious. Gonna try this one next time I'm cooking again.
My mom used to make this at least once a week with the peas and add small diced carrot, potatoes and sometimes other veggies laying around. It's also nice to add a small dish with chutney or atchar for a little flavour variety here and there. I never even knew this was an actual dish before watching this video. I'm from South Africa and we have a lot of Indian influence in our dishes and I have to say Indian food is hands down my favourite type of food to cook. Amazing how such flavourfull dishes come together so easily.
This was one of the favorite dishes my mom would make when I was growing up! The leftovers would be great for school the next day (she would wrap it in roti)
BROOOO as a brit-bengali nobody i've talked to knows about keema. You do a bit of a different method to us and we have it a lot drier but thank you for bringing this beautiful home dish to a wider audience!
@@BreakingTokyo any time I go to a new curry house, the first thing I have is lamb biriyani, 2nd visit it's aloo keema, if they don't get those right there is no 3rd visit 😀
Yeah we don't really have it as a main dish itself, normally it's cooked a lot drier (but spiced still the same, with cubed potatoes and peas) and mainly used as a samosa filling. I've experimented making more keema dishes with my mum by making it more sauce based (like in this video), and it's criminal we don't have this as a staple curry lol. Also try chicken keema, it's a lot drier so it needs slightly more oil during cooking, but it goes down a treat with more vegetables involved (peas, broccoli, carrots, potatoes, runner beans and bell pepper), as the chicken keema tends to reduce more during cooking, therefore leaving more room for other ingredients.
@@Runescapevidproducer yeah, ngl I was like "what?" when I saw him having it with rice. Nothing wrong with it but I'm just used to seeing it as a filling for samosa or parata.
@@Runescapevidproducer I'm thinking this is getting close to a Cottage Pie filling, hmm, how would I top that with a layer of rice? Or is that turning into a biryani? Either way, I am now feeling hungry.
I love all your Indian food recipes dude. I have a bit of an addiction to Indian food and I've discovered if I don't learn how to cook it, I'm going to go bankrupt as well as getting fat.
Since you love indian dishes I have a suggestion. You might wanna try North East Indian Dishes too. It will be very hard to find in restaurants abroad. But on RUclips you can see tons of *Quality* videos. Just a suggestion though. 😊🙏❤️
Greek keema (κιμάς) is usually served with pasta (μακαρόνια με κιμά -> pasta with minced meat). You can exhange peas for minced colourful peppers, eggplant, tomatoes or whatever vegetable you desire, usual spices are allspice, clove, cinnamon, cumin, oregano, the fond gets scraped with some alchoholic beverage (red wine most often). I'd love to see you try it.
Literally making all my home dishes and I'm loving it! Ever since I saw your first videos, I was like *this guy is my favourite food RUclipsr* and I still stand by that!
Btw Ethan two really fun dishes you can try in the future are palak paneer and bhindi/bhindi gosht (bhindi being okra or ladyfingers). Both are very popular dishes in the subcontinent. Being from a Pakistani household, these were staples in my house. I would really love to see a nutrient focused video like yours for bhindi especially, given how popular but also niche an ingredient it seems to be outside the subcontinent from what I can tell. Either way, keep up the awesome work!
Love that you always include macros without being a fitness channel. Fitness meals and chefs tend to be pretty bland and don’t really know how to spice stuff up (literally and figuratively) past the basics. So instead of being a fitness channel trying to dress up recipes, I like that you’re mindful of fitness when developing regular recipes.
I had a friend who would make this with some lentils in the mix. I abhor peas so when i make it, i use diced carrots for the crunch i feel it needs. It is a yummy comfort food.
made this just now, minus a few substitutions. rock solid recipe. i added a bit more lemon juice, swapped dried chilis for fresh and missed the garam masala at the end. wish i did the garam masala, but otherwise turned out really good. 9/10 would recommend
Saw this today, made this today. It was really easy and good, just like you said. A tip I heard from another youtube home chef: stick your cloves in the bay leaf. That way you'll never lose them in your dish. Keep.up the good stuff!
Made this today and I like it a lot. It's spicy enough to give your mouth a warm feeling, and the peas and onions give it a nice texture. One cool Indian trick that I used here was first fry whole cumin and black mustard seeds, then add onions and cook those too, then add everything else.
What percent fat would you recommend if I used ground turkey? Your videos and recipes are honestly so good - coming from someone who still eats their moms homemade Indian food! I’ve been using them for months now and have loved every single one of them. Keep it up man!
The water with the ground meat trick is how Cincinnati-style chili gets it consistency! Great trick for tacos too if you ever wondered how some places get their taco meat so fine. Thanks, Ethan - love the videos.
Keema is the best, and is the first Indian dish I learned to cook probably 30 years ago. I go the Julie Sahni route, so it's 2lbs lamb and a cashew nut butter (seriously, it makes a rich gravy), and I finish with lime juice. Still, can't go wrong with this recipe, regardless of one's riffs.
Dude...you are really good at cooking "desi" food from the subcontinent. Ever thought about doing a culinary walkabout in India and Pakistan? Walking across the Wagah border point from India to Pakistan is an awesome experience.

Again, appreciate your little analysis and always letting the viewer know where they can implement their own fav things in dishes
In my household, we have this dish AT LEAST once a week, and you have a really faithful recipe here! I will say that definitely ground turkey and lamb is more traditional because most Hindus do not eat ground beef, but use whatever you have!! :)
@Haitham Ali Turkey is not commonly available in India like say chicken or lamb. Maybe it is eaten in specific regions I don't know of. But it's not a pan Indian meat. I think it is just called turkey. Arabs confused it for an Indian bird hence call it hindi just like many others confused it for Turkish origin and call it turkey.
@Haitham Ali India is a huge and diverse country. I am from Hyderabad and I know turkey is not common here but I can't vouch for other places. But yeah, I get the point you are trying to make. Especially considering beef is freely available in my city.
I'm an Indian, this is my favourite dish. It's my whole families favourite dish, my cousin actually has stomach problems after consuming too much of this dish over prolonged period of time. Safe to say this dish is epic.
Hi Ethan, i just make keema Matar recipe by combining your recipe & Kenji's recipe. Actually mine is not Keema Matar because i dont have any peas & use leftover mixed vegetable in my fridge instead XD. But TBH, it taste amazing and you're right, it's really comforting. I think If i want to make it again, i need to increase the spice amount 1,5x - 2x because me & my family really loves spices in food. Thankyou so much for the recipe 🙏 Oh and also i have tried your butter chicken recipe and it's also Amazing
What a load of bollocks.freezer flavour????Try buying better quality peas,eg petit pois &just add them frozen to cook in the pan.Good quality peas dont ever need softening
I’ve followed a few of your recipes and I must say you are my favourite RUclips chef. You see, I love cooking and I usually search on RUclips for some inspiration but usually get disappointed following people’s recipes. The food you cook is AMAZING and every dish have been a hit!
This was amazing. It was dinner tonight. Followed your recipe to the letter but added cilantro stems with the tomatoes , and dried fenugreek at the end. One of the best dishes I've made... and so easy!
Great Work, Ethan, you really show respect to my culture and your enthusiasm shines through, especially how you demolish the dish during taste testing! I make similar recipes handed down to me but all recipes are slightly different based on where they're from in subcontinent
Just came out of kitchen after cooking this. Absolutely brilliant. I did not have whole spices so i substituted with ground and instead of mustard seeds i used quarter tea spoon of normal whole mustard. Dish came out amazing. Another video entering my cooking playlist of saved recipes
I feel uncomfortable whenever I see someone pouring hot food in plastic containers even though I know that most plastic containers are safe upto 100°C. Edit: I use glass containers for storing food too🙂🙂
Its uncomfortable because science doesnt "know" that its actually safe. Seems best to avoid plastics as much as possible and in a situation like this probably better to go with a Pyrex.
Ever since I saw a study that said "BPA-free" can also have other things that leech out (that just happen to not be BPA) I don't trust plastic with hot food. Glass gives me peace of mind (when it doesn't shatter).
Hey man nice dish! Please try to keep in mind that in mughlai food, cook your masala(tomato, onions and spices etc. )until the oil separates, that is what is called bhuna masala. Try it and you will see a world of difference. This tip is for almost all of Indian cooking!
Thank you so much for this Ethan, ever since I've found this recipe, its become a staple in my kitchen. Thinking next I can tweek a few ingredients in it and almost make some kind of classic American Chili variation!
Ethan. I just wanna add the fact that I've seen many non Indian chef attempt Indian dishes. But they always miss out somewhere. I think your decision of sticking with Madhur Jaffrey was perfect choice. It's as authentic as it is can be! Cheers mate ✌️

I've experimented making more keema dishes with my mum by making it more sauce based (like in this video), and it's criminal we don't have this as a staple curry lol. Also try chicken keema, it's a lot drier so it needs slightly more oil during cooking, but it goes down a treat with more vegetables involved (peas, broccoli, carrots, potatoes, runner beans and bell pepper), as the chicken keema tends to reduce more during cooking, therefore leaving more room for other ingredients.
@@Runescapevidproducer yeah, ngl I was like "what?" when I saw him having it with rice. Nothing wrong with it but I'm just used to seeing it as a filling for samosa or parata.
@@Runescapevidproducer I'm thinking this is getting close to a Cottage Pie filling, hmm, how would I top that with a layer of rice? Or is that turning into a biryani? Either way, I am now feeling hungry.
This was my favorite dish that my mom made for me. She died in Nov 2019 and I never got the recipe. Hopefully this lives up to hers!
I love all your Indian food recipes dude.
I have a bit of an addiction to Indian food and I've discovered if I don't learn how to cook it, I'm going to go bankrupt as well as getting fat.
Since you love indian dishes I have a suggestion. You might wanna try North East Indian Dishes too. It will be very hard to find in restaurants abroad. But on RUclips you can see tons of *Quality* videos.
Just a suggestion though. 😊🙏❤️
@@WheelOfThought channel recommendations?
Bahahaha bro try to stay away from stuff like paneer and praata then
Greek keema (κιμάς) is usually served with pasta (μακαρόνια με κιμά -> pasta with minced meat). You can exhange peas for minced colourful peppers, eggplant, tomatoes or whatever vegetable you desire, usual spices are allspice, clove, cinnamon, cumin, oregano, the fond gets scraped with some alchoholic beverage (red wine most often). I'd love to see you try it.
Literally making all my home dishes and I'm loving it! Ever since I saw your first videos, I was like *this guy is my favourite food RUclipsr* and I still stand by that!
Btw Ethan two really fun dishes you can try in the future are palak paneer and bhindi/bhindi gosht (bhindi being okra or ladyfingers). Both are very popular dishes in the subcontinent. Being from a Pakistani household, these were staples in my house.
I would really love to see a nutrient focused video like yours for bhindi especially, given how popular but also niche an ingredient it seems to be outside the subcontinent from what I can tell. Either way, keep up the awesome work!
Love that you always include macros without being a fitness channel.
Fitness meals and chefs tend to be pretty bland and don’t really know how to spice stuff up (literally and figuratively) past the basics.
So instead of being a fitness channel trying to dress up recipes, I like that you’re mindful of fitness when developing regular recipes.
So true! Videos like this make me feel like eating healthy is pretty achievable. I mean, this dish is pretty damn healthy if you use lean meat.
You and Babish both have Indian food videos today! At least it makes my weekend shopping list easier :)
This guy uploads authentic indian recipes just like we make it in our homes here in india 🇮🇳 , respect man
Nothing I can critique, no one gets South Asian cuisine and this man does it perfect :^)
Kheema is one of my favorite foods!!! My mom makes it with ground turkey, it’s heavenly 😩😍
I had a friend who would make this with some lentils in the mix. I abhor peas so when i make it, i use diced carrots for the crunch i feel it needs. It is a yummy comfort food.
made this just now, minus a few substitutions. rock solid recipe. i added a bit more lemon juice, swapped dried chilis for fresh and missed the garam masala at the end. wish i did the garam masala, but otherwise turned out really good. 9/10 would recommend
Saw this today, made this today. It was really easy and good, just like you said. A tip I heard from another youtube home chef: stick your cloves in the bay leaf. That way you'll never lose them in your dish. Keep.up the good stuff!
As an Indian, I approve this recipe 👌👍😋. Gotta love some kheema Kitchdi 😎
Made this today and I like it a lot. It's spicy enough to give your mouth a warm feeling, and the peas and onions give it a nice texture. One cool Indian trick that I used here was first fry whole cumin and black mustard seeds, then add onions and cook those too, then add everything else.
What percent fat would you recommend if I used ground turkey? Your videos and recipes are honestly so good - coming from someone who still eats their moms homemade Indian food! I’ve been using them for months now and have loved every single one of them. Keep it up man!
Showed this to my dadi (grandmother) and mother and they both very much approved of this dish. Thank you for keeping it authentic
Oh, Keema is one of my favorites! Thanks for calories and macros!
What do you call a steak, that you dropped on the floor?
GROUND MEAT.
The water with the ground meat trick is how Cincinnati-style chili gets it consistency! Great trick for tacos too if you ever wondered how some places get their taco meat so fine. Thanks, Ethan - love the videos.
Love how every shot that leaf and cinnamon stick are just there like
*Aye, you see me?*
Keema is the best, and is the first Indian dish I learned to cook probably 30 years ago. I go the Julie Sahni route, so it's 2lbs lamb and a cashew nut butter (seriously, it makes a rich gravy), and I finish with lime juice. Still, can't go wrong with this recipe, regardless of one's riffs.
Dude...you are really good at cooking "desi" food from the subcontinent. Ever thought about doing a culinary walkabout in India and Pakistan? Walking across the Wagah border point from India to Pakistan is an awesome experience.
Wagah is on Pakistan side, Attari is the Indian side!! 👍
Lamb Kheema, khichdi and khata (it's made with tamarind) is my favourite comfort food. It's a great combo
Are you from Hyderabad? That's such a Hyderabadi combo.
As an Indian me and my partner have a bet on whom Ethan is gonna marry. I say Indian, she says a Mexican. Whatever it is, his food game's on point!
Plot twist: half Mexican, half Indian
Either way, they'll be using chilis, cumin, cilantro, and coriander...
I bet a Polish with a wide palate just like his.
@@AZyzk haha fair!
No idea how this happened but a few months after subscribing, you have become my favourite cooking yt to watch, I love how you do everything, loving the homecook content, I’m a really passionate homecook and I’ve planned a series which I wanna do as a project after uni. Again, appreciate your little analysis and always letting the viewer know where they can implement their own fav things in dishes
In my household, we have this dish AT LEAST once a week, and you have a really faithful recipe here! I will say that definitely ground turkey and lamb is more traditional because most Hindus do not eat ground beef, but use whatever you have!! :)
@Haitham Ali not necessarily! That's actually really funny haha 😂😂😂
Muslims in south Asians eat the beef version. In Pakistan we eat the beef Keema a lot. Its very delicious.
@Haitham Ali Turkey is not commonly available in India like say chicken or lamb. Maybe it is eaten in specific regions I don't know of. But it's not a pan Indian meat. I think it is just called turkey.
Arabs confused it for an Indian bird hence call it hindi just like many others confused it for Turkish origin and call it turkey.
@Haitham Ali Don't mind me asking. Where are you from?
@Haitham Ali India is a huge and diverse country. I am from Hyderabad and I know turkey is not common here but I can't vouch for other places. But yeah, I get the point you are trying to make. Especially considering beef is freely available in my city.
I'm an Indian, this is my favourite dish. It's my whole families favourite dish, my cousin actually has stomach problems after consuming too much of this dish over prolonged period of time. Safe to say this dish is epic.
Hi Ethan, i just make keema Matar recipe by combining your recipe & Kenji's recipe. Actually mine is not Keema Matar because i dont have any peas & use leftover mixed vegetable in my fridge instead XD.
But TBH, it taste amazing and you're right, it's really comforting. I think If i want to make it again, i need to increase the spice amount 1,5x - 2x because me & my family really loves spices in food. Thankyou so much for the recipe 🙏
Oh and also i have tried your butter chicken recipe and it's also Amazing
This guy does everything in the hardest possible way.
Liam,I prsume U have passed puberty &so U should be well aware that hardest &doing it go together!
to avoid the odd freezer flavour, i let my peas thaw in warm water.
What a load of bollocks.freezer flavour????Try buying better quality peas,eg petit pois &just add them frozen to cook in the pan.Good quality peas dont ever need softening
I tried this recipe and DAMN IT'S GOOD! Indian food always amazes me.. thanks for the precise recipe Ethan
That would be an Indian twist on a shepherds pie filling.
With mashed aloo masala as the top?!
@@EthanChlebowski Took the words out of my mouth
Yup.
@@EthanChlebowski OMG this sounds amazing
Why isn't this already a thing?
I’ve followed a few of your recipes and I must say you are my favourite RUclips chef. You see, I love cooking and I usually search on RUclips for some inspiration but usually get disappointed following people’s recipes. The food you cook is AMAZING and every dish have been a hit!
We don't have beef in keema, it usually is ground lamb and even pork is a decent substitute for it. You can also use chicken for Keema dishes.
It also confused me. India we don’t eat beef. Beef is only consumed by the Christians here.
@@nemesimp its also eaten in pakistan and they might be using beef and keema means ground meat so think any meat is fine
@@nemesimp nah beef is consumed In southern part of India and many other places as well.
I can't believe how legit your Indian cooking is, cooked in my house monthly.
2:24 Bro, nobody is stopping you from placing that box grater in a plate. This way you don't have to mop the table with tomato juice!
This was amazing. It was dinner tonight. Followed your recipe to the letter but added cilantro stems with the tomatoes , and dried fenugreek at the end. One of the best dishes I've made... and so easy!
6:34 I really wanna buy you a ladle. ;-)
Great Work, Ethan, you really show respect to my culture and your enthusiasm shines through, especially how you demolish the dish during taste testing! I make similar recipes handed down to me but all recipes are slightly different based on where they're from in subcontinent
Finally, a simple recipe that you can make with only about two dozen ingredients.
Just came out of kitchen after cooking this. Absolutely brilliant. I did not have whole spices so i substituted with ground and instead of mustard seeds i used quarter tea spoon of normal whole mustard. Dish came out amazing. Another video entering my cooking playlist of saved recipes
Going to try this with some ground deer. Should be bomb
bit dry
@@nmo3148 The sauce should help with that.
Going to try this with some ground elephant
It's a banger I tried.
@@goblinslayer6432 ground elephant is bomb, dude.
Made this tonight! We're in love!
I feel uncomfortable whenever I see someone pouring hot food in plastic containers even though I know that most plastic containers are safe upto 100°C.
Edit: I use glass containers for storing food too🙂🙂
Its uncomfortable because science doesnt "know" that its actually safe. Seems best to avoid plastics as much as possible and in a situation like this probably better to go with a Pyrex.
Doesn’t plastic leech into hot foods overtime? I would stick with glass containers like the guy above said.
Ever since I saw a study that said "BPA-free" can also have other things that leech out (that just happen to not be BPA) I don't trust plastic with hot food. Glass gives me peace of mind (when it doesn't shatter).
@@4.0.4 Glass just gives me Different Anxiety
Me too..
Hey man nice dish! Please try to keep in mind that in mughlai food, cook your masala(tomato, onions and spices etc. )until the oil separates, that is what is called bhuna masala. Try it and you will see a world of difference. This tip is for almost all of Indian cooking!
0:01 THAT SLAP!
I think it’s great how you explain every step and why ,talented chef ,good to watch
so good
Ig they do this in Pakistan too?
Do Indians eat meat? Otherwise it's from Pakistan
@@sictransitgloriamundi8178 of course Indians eat meat
@@sictransitgloriamundi8178 yeah some do
@@jojorabbit61 60% do
Thank you so much for this Ethan, ever since I've found this recipe, its become a staple in my kitchen.
Thinking next I can tweek a few ingredients in it and almost make some kind of classic American Chili variation!
You can put this inside a peace of roti or naan and it tastes delicious
I made this with okra instead of peas, and 94/6 ground beef, and 'twas amazing. You da best
Here in Japan, Keema Curry is kinda in fashion. Also dry curry, which seems to be kinda similar too.
Ethan. I just wanna add the fact that I've seen many non Indian chef attempt Indian dishes. But they always miss out somewhere.
I think your decision of sticking with Madhur Jaffrey was perfect choice.
It's as authentic as it is can be!
Cheers mate ✌️
It is South Asian Muslim dish as most Hindus don't beef. It is called Qeema قیمه in Urdu meaning minced meat.
That's true though. But you can see Hindu dish took some inspiration from this and uses Mutton/Goat meat as an alternative and it's awesome as well
@@WheelOfThought Yes any minced meat dish is good. My elderly grandparents prefer eating Qeema since it is meat and not as hard as the regular meat cubes in most other dishes.
well india has 17 % muslim population so it is indian and one more misconception hindu also eat beef 20 states bnned it and India has 29 states
@@ayaskpandey Now Indian Muslims are not allowed to eat Beef or Carabeef by the Hindutva government and their supporters.
@@azizsiddiqui6174 pork is not allowed in muslim countries every religion has its own belief and one more thing most muslim live in those 9 state that did not banned if you want to eat beef you can travel to these state and eat it
Idk what it is but hearing seeing ethan eat is is way more satisfying that other you tubers you can tell loves it
Ethan has became the guy all indian mothers want for their daughters
Love this dish! I used to ask my grandma to cook it each time we'd visit her back in the day.
Got mince defrosted was going to make burgers, then remembered this vid, so this is getting made tonight
Dude. I just made this & it was awesome! My whole family loved it. Thank you. I used un-sweet peas & minced up some squash. Absolute home run.
Indian Flatbread + Indian Ground Meat = ❤️
I legit started making this like halfway through the video. It just seems so good and simple.
Every time Ethan makes an Indian dish :
“Aight everybody it’s taste test time. “
Proceeds to plough through half the plate :D
Can’t really blame him Indian food’s that good bruh!
Reasonably surprised how authentic his recipe is. Well played.
Ethan: reminds me of home
Me: but you are not Indian...
Probably because half the meals Americans eat growing up are just versions of ground beef cooked in different forms, ground beef is super cheap here
did u just assume his indianness (or lack thereof)
@@fireteam_ I wish it was. 1 lb of ground beef for $5 vs a family pack of chicken thighs for $3.50. It’s often hard to go with the beef
@@DrRiq he's no ordinay ginger, he's a garlic ginger.
nah he is Indian
I have to thank you. The last thing I wanted to do tonight was cook; I had most of the ingredients and it was easy and
came out well. You are my recipe resort!
Ethan, if that amount of Kheema is a portion for two, good for you both, dude, but if not, *MY GOD* .
I made this recipe today using the exact instructions here and on your website and it is insanely good. Thank you for this video.
"I'll catch you all on the next one PEAS"
I see what you did there
I'm not one to buy cook books but I think you have finally convinced me to pick up Madhur Jaffrey's! So many delicious looking Indian dishes over the past year!
"Taste test time"
*eats half of the plate*
If you see someone saying that and being about to finish the plate, you can expect it will be a really good review
Your comment about prepping everything ahead of time is good advice. Mise en place.
You can make this with eggs too that’s how my family eats it
