Keema Pav

Getting  praise for the food you make or should I say , for all the creative juices you secreted to the fullest, is always a pleasure.            You tend to put so much love and care in what you cook that you feel enthralled at the beautiful comments and feedback.
                 Keema is a dish for which you can choose either chicken or lamb, though I am a little biased towards chicken.  Perhaps the reason towards this inclination is that chicken is a healthier option as compared to its counterpart.                 

         Keema , as Punabis would say, is a dish of minced meat made in ghee with aromatic spices. This combination emanates aroma which is somewhat divine and can mesmerise you.
