Dum ka Keema is spiced and smoked ground meat curry made by marinating ground meat (keema) with an Indian spice blend. Then ground meat is cooked with fried onions and yogurt. Dum ka keema is usually served with paratha and mint chutney.
Keema means ground meat, Dum means 'to smoke' so make sure your spicy smoked ground beef (keema) has a deep smoky flavor. Here I am sharing the authentic and unique Dum Ka Keema recipe from the royal kitchen of Nawabs of Hyderabad. You may also call it Pakistani dum ka keema recipe as I have given a bit touch of Pakistani flavor in it. Hope you will love this recipe.
