Simple Qeema Recipe

Qeema is a homely dish made from ground beef, chicken, lamb or mutton. It can have numerous vegetable add-ins which makes it one of the most versatile dishes to prepare and a favorite in my house.

I usually serve it with parathas but you can serve it with rice too. This is an easy, quick dish to make and serve for breakfast paired with an omelet, for lunch with a paratha or for dinner with rice and daal. Please do give this delicious dish a try. I think it might just become a favorite in your house too!
