Beef Keema

Saw a friend's post on Azmi's Chappati at Norris Road and I wish I can teleport myself over! 

So here's my take on the indian Keema except that mine's with beef ..

Heat your wok with some oil.

Add in 1 cinnamon stick, 3 cloves & 1 tsp cumin. 

Then add in 1 chopped onion (medium size), 1 chopped green chilli, 1 tsp minced garlic, 1 tsp minced ginger.

Once everything is nice and soft, add in your minced beef (300g) or mutton and cook it until the beef is browned.

Then add the flavourings & spices 

1/2 tsp tumeric powder

1/2 tsp cumin powder

1/2 tsp coriander powder

2 tsp chili powder 

1 tsp Garam masala 

Salt to taste

Stir well.

Add in also 2 chopped tomatoes, 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup, 1/2 cup of peas & 1/3 cup water and simmer. Add more water if needed. Lastly chop some coriander leaves and add in to the mix.

Serve with roti or chappati with side servings of refreshing cucumber salad.

1 large cucumber slices thinly

1/2 onion, sliced

1 tomato, chopped

1 stalk chili, chopped

1/2 lime juice 

Salt 

Add salt to the sliced cucumber & squeeze out the water. Add the rest of the ingredient, mix well. Add more salt if required.

Spinach Roti

Rotis are pretty easy to make and sometimes if I have extra spinach or tomatoes I'll make the dough with these.

First wilt a bunch of spinach in a pan with 1/4 cup water. Once wilted, blitz it up into a purée.

Pour in a mixing bowl and add 1/2 tsp salt & 1 cup of atta flour.

Yes that's it for the ingredients 😬

Now knead the dough and add a bit of water bit by bit until you get a soft smooth dough.

Divide into 8 equal balls (I weigh them to get the exact weight). Roll on floured surface. 

Next you need to standby those rack that you put above your stove? And a frying pan. 

Dry fry the rolled dough on both sides  and then pop it onto the rack. This will help them "puff" up and cook the inside of the dough. Serve with with Keema or potato masala or use it as a wrap!
