Notes
As you can see, my instant pot keema is a super versatile recipe, with lots of swaps if you don't like or don't have some of the ingredients. I didn't have any ghee or cinnamon sticks, but coconut oil and cinnamon powder worked well.
We served with brown rice and naan bread, but you could try white rice, toasted burger rolls or even quinoa.

Wow, This is creative! I had never thought of doing a keema in the instant pot before, but now and funny enough, I've got almost all the ingredients stocked in my fridge and store cupboard.
I'll save the video from YouTube and combine it with the instructions provided here in this article so I can be 💯 correct in making this keema.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Lizzy, I'm sure you will enjoy it.
Hmmm that looks nice and really simple to make. I remember that I can't even make a pancake but with all this lockdown thing going on I think it's about time I discover and unveil that chef in me. Will definitely try this and I'm sure it will only take me about 30 minutes or so. I'm really looking forward to making your recipe.
Hi Donny. It's a perfect recipe for a beginner cook. Give it a try and let me know how you get on.
