    Hello, Padma Laxmi ,
    This is almost identical to the recipe I use. I only use ground beef.
    I also add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder in addition to the
    other ingredients.
    We like to fill this in shells (Aztec or home made tortilla shells.

    So Tasty! I served it in lettuce cups but otherwise followed the recipe directly. I will be making this dish over and over.

    Love this. It's easy and delicious. My fiance was skeptical about the quantity of peas, and yet it works perfectly. We like it with naan (we can get it at our grocery store or tortilla chips when the naan runs out. I also usually just use a pound of ground beef instead of half beef, half veal.

    keema is a nice quick and easy weeknight dish. i like this recipe. i alternate between this and a texmex style chili when i don't have much time to cook and have ground meat. glad they added aarti to the cable tv mix...we share the same global food flavor sense.

    Loved, loved, loved this recipe. I used organic ground beef only, no veal. Omitted the peas, only because my husband and son do not like them. However, I did want more of a sauce so I added one small can of tomato puree and small container of greek yougert(this made a wonderful creamy sauce, however you may want to up the spices, probably added extra ginger as well. I served it over brown rice with salad on the side. We all loved it including my husband who is not into Indian food (not like my son and I anyway I plan on replacing meat with eggplant for my nice who is vegetarian. Can't wait to cook it again.

    I only had the beef and used it. It turned out very nice. My family really enjoyed it and it is a great "different" way to use ground beef! Will make again.

    Was very good. You could definitely add more garam masala than the recipe calls for. I changed it and used local ground beef only, and pre-cooked to drain the fat from it. I also substituted sugar snap peas for the peas as I don't like them, and I didn't cook as long so they wouldn't be soggy. My husband gave it the thumbs up and wants me to make it again.
