  1. Looks delicious, Rita! I love kheema! I’ll have to try your recipe, because I’ve ordered it at restaurants but I’ve never made it myself. Thanks for sharing at this week’s Fiesta Friday!

  2. Kheema is very versatile, you can make it with spices of your liking. More tomatoes, no cilantro and so on. Do try Ai.

  3. This kheemo looks so yummy! I remember having it with sali on top!

  4. Yes, you know the parsis well. Sali is so crunchy with this kheemo. Sans potatoes. See my recipe for making tasty freshest Sali at home from scratch.
