Egg Keema is a take on the traditional a flavorful minced meat (beef or lamb) dish said to have originated in Persia but extremely popular in the Indian sub-continent. Try this great variation to the classic recipe using Hard Boiled Eggs – a perfect protein-packed delight for vegetarians who eat eggs.
This recipe needs boiled egg and no meat is used. Egg keema pairs well with chapathi or plain rice. I suggest using a good flavorful garam masala powder. The flavor and taste of the dish depends on the masala. It’s best enjoyed as a snack or with some bread as a light dinner. It’s also a street food favorite
Eggs are beneficial in a variety of ways, but are especially helpful to give an ‘eggetarian’ a good dose of protein.
