Cooking Tips for Success

To ensure your Lamb Keema turns out perfect every time, be sure to use quality ground lamb. This will enhance the dish's flavor and tenderness. If you prefer a leaner option, you can substitute ground turkey or chicken, but the taste will differ slightly.

Additionally, don't rush the sautéing process. Allow the onions, garlic, and ginger to develop a golden color; this will add depth to your dish. Adjust the level of spiciness by modifying the number of green chilies according to your preference.

Storing and Reheating Leftovers

If you find yourself with leftovers, you're in luck! Lamb Keema actually tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. When you're ready to enjoy it again, simply reheat on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of water if it has thickened.

For longer storage, you can freeze the Lamb Keema. Portion it into freezer-safe containers and it will keep for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating to retain its delicious flavor and texture.
