Whip up delicious keema cutlets by mixing minced meat with mashed potatoes, onions, and spices. Shape the mixture into patties, coat them in breadcrumbs, and shallow fry until golden brown. These cutlets are excellent as a burger patty.

From curries to parathas, samosas to biryanis, the possibilities of what you can make with keema are truly endless. All our curry kits are wonderful to make the keema base, but we would recommend trying Classic Bangla or for something a bit spicer, Naga Bang. So, the next time you have some keema on hand, get creative in the kitchen and explore the delicious potential this minced meat offers. Your taste buds will thank you!
