Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the vegetables

  • Finely chop, press, or grate the garlic. 
  • Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions. Set aside 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] for garnish and the rest for cooking with the keema. 
  • Scrub the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into ½-inch pieces. 
  • Trim the stem ends from the green beans if needed; cut the beans into 1-inch lengths.
  • Cut away the cores from the tomatoes; coarsely chop the tomatoes.

2

Prep your protein

  • Ground meat (including plant based): Cut a small corner from the ground meat packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel. 
  • Tofu: Pat the tofu dry with paper towels; crumble or cut into ¼-inch pieces.

3

Start cooking your protein

In a large frying pan [large sauce pot] over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add your protein, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring and breaking up the ground meat if using, until the protein is lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the protein to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Wipe out the pan.

4

Cook the keema

In the same pan used for your protein, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in your protein, garlic, and all except 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] scallions and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the keema spice blend and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. 

Add the potatoes, green beans, and 2½ cups [4 cups] water and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and beans are tender and your protein is cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the tomatoes, and season to taste with salt and pepper. 

Serve

Transfer the keema to individual plates, garnish with the remaining scallions, and serve.
