It makes a great side and goes well with both roti and rice. In fact, it goes very well with masala pav.

What is keema?

The word Keema is believed to have been borrowed from the Turkish word Kyma, which means minced meat. Here the recipes are made similar to the mutton or chicken keema

Vegetarian version :

Matar Keema Masala : Here, non veg keema is replaced by soya granules which are popularly known as vegetarian meat. Nutri granules are minced or chopped finely and marinated in curd. Taste wise this dish is equally delicious. This dish is ideally served as a side dish to the roti or chapati and makes a complete meal filled with protein.

Furthermore, I would like to add a few more tips and suggestions while making this Nutri Keema Recipe.

Firstly, i would heavily recommend to boil and rinse the soya granules thoroughly with water. this would ensure to remove all the necessary dirt and also to make it soft and spongy.

Secondly, you can also add paneer to make keema more flavourful and attractive.

lastly, if you are looking to have a gravy version of Matar Keema Masala then feel free to add more water adjusting consistency as desired.

Finally, I had shared few more such interesting recipes in a blog like

Notes

  • I am serving this with a masala pav, you will get the masala pav recipes in the blog. If you want you can serve it in a bunny chow style. To do so, cut the top of the bun into two pieces and scoop out its inner part to make a cavity. Toast this bread on a pan and serve the keema in the bun cavity.
