Lamb Keema Curry

Lamb keema curry combines tender ground lamb with peas, potatoes, tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalapeño in a richly spiced blend of curry powder, cumin, garam masala, and warming spices. Fragrant, bright, and gently hot, it works as a complete one-dish meal or served with Indian flatbread, rice, or noodles, with plain yogurt alongside for a cool contrast.

  1. 1

    Place peas in a microwave-safe container and cover loosely. Microwave until just heated through and bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain, then immediately cover with cold water to stop the cooking process, preserve the color, and reinflate any dimples or puckers. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a nonstick frying pan or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add lamb, onion, and garlic to the oil. Break up the ground lamb into morsels, stirring it into the onion, garlic, and oil. Cover and gradually brown the lamb. Cook slowly until the lamb is browned and a pool of rendered fat and liquid collects in the bottom of the pan, 10 to 20 minutes. Drain all fat, oil, and liquids.

  3. 3

    Combine parsley, curry powder, cumin, garam masala, black pepper, cinnamon, coriander, ginger, turmeric, and pepper flakes in a bowl, then stir the mixture into the lamb. Cook over low heat until the spices bloom, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in potatoes, tomatoes, and jalapenos. Cover and continue cooking and stirring until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Set the lid ajar and let any liquids in the bottom of the pan steam off. Drain the peas and stir them into the keema. The keema will reheat them. Garnish individual servings with cilantro leaves.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
