Keema Biryani

Beef Keema saag biryani

So quick and easy… Give this keema biryani a try.

Lately I’ve been coming up with curry house style dishes that can be made in minutes. I know how important it is to be able to eat well but lately I’ve had very little time on my hands.

This lamb biryani recipe is so easy and can literally be made in minutes. There’s no need for an expensive takeaway when you can cook a dish like this that fast.

Heck, I didn’t even bother to make garlic and ginger paste. I just chopped it up finely and threw it in. You really can’t notice a difference so I thought I should point that out.

You could add about 200ml (2/3 cup) of chopped tomatoes instead of the tomato puree. To make this amount of tomato puree, simply blend two tablespoons of thick tomato paste with four tablespoons of water.

I like to serve this biryani with coriander and mint raita. Here’s my super easy recipe.
