Peas? Whole Kashmiri chilli? Powder? Listed in instructions and not contents. Quite a simplified recipe.
Very simple indeed but tastes amazing 🙂

Hi Nabeela, I make this all the time! But I buy the mini naan breads from either Asda or Tesco, pop them in the toaster, then cut them open at the top and fill them with the Keema mince, then pop on a garnish of coriander…. easy eats! All my family love it and it’s so quick and easy!
Hey, I also do the same for my kids. It’s great for adults and kids alike. Thanks for using my recipe 🙂
Hi Nabeela I love my curries will this taste just like a takeaway also usually the curries we order are normally not as dense as this would I add more water to this can I use tin chopped tomatoes instead of fresh.
Thank you
Hi Andrew,
This will taste better than a takeaway :). The ones in the takeaway have more of a curry sauce. If you like it saucier then you can add more water. Yes, you can use chopped canned tomatoes instead of fresh ones. 🙂
Have just made this tonight for me and my son have also put it in the fridge to let the spices infuse bought some chapattis from my lovely Asian store.
I’m glad you enjoyed my recipe 🙂
Hi Nabeela. I’m one of those people to whom coriander taste like soap. Can I just leave it out or can you suggest an alternative? Thanks
Hi Vee, yes you can leave the coriander out and it will still taste delicious. Some people possess a particular olfactory receptor gene variant that enables them to detect aldehydes, hence the soap type taste. 🙂
