Notes
- Thicker curry - add only half of the water before pressure cooking. Alternatively, after the curry is pressure-cooked, cook it on saute mode stirring frequently, and reduce the liquids
- More Veggies - Add half a cup of green peas to the curry just before pressure cooking. Or add a peeled and diced potato and sauté it with the onions, this will also add thickness to the curry.
- Like it Spicy - Add 1 or 2 spicy green chilies or diced jalapeño
- Other ground meats - substitute ground chicken with ground lamb, turkey, or beef and follow the same recipe.

- Pav - When buying the rolls or buns to be served with Kheema, check the Sugar contents on the pack. As long as sugar is 2% or less the bread does not taste overly sweet and works well with Indian curries.
- Serving ideas - Serve the Kheema with dinner rolls or buns lightly toasted on a griddle with ghee. Serve with warm pillowy naan, hot parathas, or soft roti. For a gluten-free meal, you can also serve the keema with jeera rice, steamed basmati rice, or cauliflower rice. Serve as a chili topped with diced red onions, jalapeños, corn, cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and a side of jalapeno cornbread for a hearty meal.
