One day I had a thought of cooking some non-vegetarian cuisine but as a vegetarian dish. I have tried Paneer bhurji, tofu bhurji, Biryani but didnt want to do same thing again and then ta-da I decide on Keema. So here it is my vegetarian version of keema.
1/2 capsicum finely chopped
1 carrot steamed and finely chopped
100g French beans steamed and finely chopped
1/2 cup frozen peas
3-4 green chilli finely chopped (depending on how spicy you prefer)
1 large tomato finely chopped
1 cup tomato puree
3 tbsp cheese
150g grated paneer
1 tsp red chilli powder
1 tbsp ghee
1 tbsp ginger and garlic paste
few coriander leaves
salt to taste
1/2 tsp coriander and cumin seed powder
1. In a pan, heat ghee. Add the onions and saute them well until they are brown in colour.
2. Add the ginger and garlic paste.
3. Add the finely chopped capsicum, frozen green peas and chopped green chillies,
4. Add the tomato puree and let it cook for at least 2 minutes.
5. Add the finely chopped tomatoes and let them cook until they are absolutely mushy.
6. Add the red chilli powder, coriander and cumin seed powder and salt to taste.
7. Add little water and saute the ingredients well.
8. Add the chopped, steamed vegetables - French beans and carrots.
9. Add the grated paneer (cottage cheese) and then grate some cheese over it. Mix all the ingredients well.
10. Sprinkle some coriander leaves over the kheema masala and add little water. Mix well.
The kheema masala is ready to be served. Garnish it with some grated cheese and coriander leaves. Also squeeze some lime over it. I served it with frozen garlic naan, onion slices and papad. Let me know if you have any better way to cook this dish.
