This dish is quick and easy to make, and only requires one pot (less dishes to wash!). This is healthy “fast food” at its best!
Traditional Keema includes minced meat, peas and potatoes. Here I have used sweet potatoes instead of regular white potatoes, and added green beans and carrots.
My 9-year old daughter once stated that she would happily eat this dish every day if given the chance! And it contains an amazing 5 of the 11 Cancer-Fighting Foods which I previously talked about.
We usually eat this dish with either rice or homemade Naan bread.
