Aaloo Qeema Recipe (Minced Meat and Potatoes)

Minced Meat

The minced meat used here is finely chopped beef . Generally a machine is used to make minced meat and it helps make the beef in beautifully cut small pieces. It can be done by hand as well but it takes a lot of time to cut the beef in small pieces.  Minced meat is a favorite of both children and elders. It is used in different dishes and is cooked in different ways. The recipe I am sharing here is a very common one and is made in every house.

Ingredients:

  • ½ Kg minced meat

  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste

Preparation:

  • Put minced meat, onions, garlic and ginger paste, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon red chili powder, and ¼ teaspoon of turmeric in the pressure cooker and add ½ liter of water
