Spicy Keema Filling/Topping
Works beautifully as a pizza topping or as a filling for sandwiches & rolls.
Ingredients
- 250 gm minced meat beef or mutton/lamb
- 1 small onion finely diced
- 2 capsicum preferably red and green, chopped
- 2-3 tbsp. sweet corn
- 3-4 tbsp tomato paste
- salt to taste
- 1-2 chopped green chilli
- 2 tbsp. yoghurt
- pinch of tumeric
- 1 tsp. tandoori masala
- 1 tsp. ginger paste
- 1 tsp. garlic paste
- 1 tsp. red chilli flakes or powder
- 2 tbsp. butter or oil
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 2 tbsp. chopped coriander leaves
- 1 tsp. of lemon juice
Instructions
- Marinate the minced meat with half tsp. ginger/garlic, some salt, turmeric powder, and the 2 tbsp. of yoghurt. Set aside for half an hour or so.
- Heat a pan and add butter. When it starts to sizzle, add the onions and let them fry whilst stirring until translucent. Add the remaining ginger and garlic, stir for a minute then add the minced meat. Stir-fry it whilst breaking it up using a wooden spoon, until the meat color changes/browns.
- Add the capsicum and cook together with the meat until all the moisture from the meat is gone. Add the green chillies, tandoori masala, sweet corn and tomato paste. Adjust salt and chilli. Cook together until the mince develops a lovely color. Add the tsp. of sugar.
- Make sure you dry the mixture as much as possible. Once done, add the lemon juice and sprinkle coriander leaves. You can smoke it for a bbq aroma/flavor. Use as needed!
how do i make tomato paste at home as it is not available for me in the market xx
After boiling and peeling the tomatoes, blend them and cook them with a pinch of salt and sugar until they thicken to a thick paste. Use that in place of ready made tomato paste.
i made it yesterday at aftar party and it was amazing ….. didnt have time for tomato paste to make so i put ketchup instead n it worked ….. the pinwheel pizzas simply rocks all loved them :p
