Easy Keema Curry made with extra lean ground beef and just a few store cupboard spices for a blend of spices that add delicious flavours to this dish. Perfectly cooked stove top or in an Instant Pot
Keema Ground Beef Curry
Keema Curry is a South Asian dish that traditionally would use lamb or even goat mince along with a delicious blend of spices for a simple flavoursome curry.
I switch out the ground lamb for extra lean ground beef a slightly healthier alternative for this dish without compromising on flavour and of course extra lean ground beef is a lot easier to source and also syn free.
Can I use ground lamb (lamb mince) in this keema curry?
Do you prefer the flavours of lamb in a keema curry? Don’t be scared to make the switch. Although not as lean as extra lean ground beef, when you divide it into 4 servings, it’s not going to use up too many syns/points from your daily allowance.
Lamb has a lovely sweet unique flavour too, you can keep the beef stock or switch out the beef stock for lamb stock to even more enhance that flavour.
Instant Pot Keema Curry
Own an Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker, this yummy Keema Curry can be made even quicker and effortlessly in a pressure cooker.
You may be wondering, What is an Instant Pot? An Instant Pot (Pressure Cooker) is a 7in1 cooker, that slow cooks, pressure cooks, sautes and has settings for soup, chilli, rice, porridge etc. It will literally cook these meatballs in minutes, so perfect for when you need a meal on the table quickly.

Since buying my Instant Pot, I use it on a regular basis, it’s not one of those gadgets that sit in my cupboard forgotten. In fact, it never goes away.
Instant Pot is a brand of an electric pressure cooker, but there are various other brands and options out there.
Sides for Keema Curry
Usually, this would be served with naan bread or chapati’s to scoop up bits of the meat, if you would like to serve it with similar then you can syn them or try it with my Sweet Potato Flatbreads – these delicious breads are just 3 syns each, so you could have one or even two and still be within your daily syn allowance.
Or keep it completely syn free and serve with some white rice or for a healthier alternative, I love it with this Roasted Cauliflower Rice.
If you love Pilau Rice, I have a couple of different recipes to choose from:
Can Keema Curry be frozen?
Yep, it sure can!! It is probably one of my go-to dishes for batch cooking. Whenever I make Keema Curry, I often double up the recipe, so that have I have some leftover to freeze.
To reheat, fully defrost in a container and then you can either gently heat in a pan until piping hot or reheat in a microwave.
I often freeze a serving in a meal prep container with some of the roasted cauliflower rice, so I have a full meal ready to heat up when I just fancy something nice and quick for dinner. Bonus!!

Would love to make this for my wife, but how do you reheat it after freezing? Does it have to be defrosted first? Thanks
Hi Les, I defrost fully and then heat in the microwave or in a pan on the stove top.
I have made this today to eat tomorrow! I had a little sample and just love it! Hoping the hubby will enjoy it too although he might want to add some cayenne pepper. It was easy to make. Thank you for all your recipes. x
Can you swop grated ginger for ground ginger? I have all the other ingredients in except fresh ginger.
Yes it should be okay, but use a much smalller quantity.
I did this but put sliced potatoes on the top like a potato pie was lovely served with broccoli
Siobhan. As I hate the overpowering taste of cumin should I double up on garam masala do you think?
I personally wouldn’t go too heavy on the garam masala, maybe use a curry powder instead.
I love this recipe . This delicious Keema has helped me lose over 2 stone in weight whilst still enjoying great food. I never realised that healthy food could taste so good.
Thank you for your brilliant recipes.

Made this tonight for me and my boyfriend and we loved it. It’s so tasty. Served with white basmati on a bed of fresh spinach 🙂
This was delicious, great to find something a bit different to make with mince. Will definitely make again
Could I use pork mince or lamb mince?
lamb mince would definitely work well with this.
Delicious curry—made according to instructions and loved it! Made a double batch with half going in the freezer for an easy reheat meal. Thank you for so many amazing recipes!!
Very easy to follow recipes, this is the second I’ve used. Thank you
Hi there. The deggi Mirch chilli powder – can I use just normal chilli powder? TIA
yes you can, deggi mirch is just a good quality chilli powder which adds a more vibrant red colour to Indian cooking.
