Step by step Aloo Keema Recipe Pakistani (Potato and Mince Curry )with photos.
Aloo means potato in Urdu and keema is mince meat. Aloo keema is staple in every Pakistani home. It is super simple to make and this recipe is particularly easy. It is one pot simple recipe but has great taste.
Cooking time is a bit longer than usual since, we are slow cooking but I find it really easy to manage. As, I just need to put all ingredient in pot and let it slow cook while simultaneously, I can cook rice and then roti. Afterwards, I remove the lid of keema and let it simmer with frequent stirrings here and there till water dries simultaneously doing dishes and clean up. After adding potatoes to the mince, I set the table make salad. So, with a little management a hearty meal that everyone loves is ready to enjoyed. The whole process would take around 60 minutes. And, you can always pressure cook for 10 minutes to cut slow cooking time.
Sometimes, when I’m really busy in household chores, I just buy readymade roti or bread and this keema requires very little active time in kitchen so it’s again a convenient food.
