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.
