Before I get to my recipe for Aloo Keema Matar, here is an email I received over the weekend from a long time reader: Well Karen, first off let me start by saying how pleased I am that you and your husband are enjoying my recipes cooked at home. Nothing makes me happier than knowing that someone stepped into their kitchen and cooked an Indian meal. Also, hats off to you for trying to introduce your kids to new flavours by bringing in something that they already enjoy. That’s a wonderful way to open them up to something different, yet similar. I was wondering if you could help me. My husband and I LOVE north Indian food and I’ve cooked many recipes of yours that have been huge hits with us. Now, I want to start introducing my two girls to the flavours we both so love. The thing is, they’ll eat almost anything with ground meat in it, and so I thought that starting them off with a dish of Keema cooked in the Indian way might give me a positive response from them. Any chance you have a kid-friendly Aloo Keema recipe that I could try out for them? We love chicken as a family, but ground beef and lamb would work for us too. Karen Aloo Keema Matar is quite mild in taste, yet has a deliciously well-rounded robust flavour that is often expected from Indian food. It’s reminiscent of Chili or Sloppy Joes, and you can surely serve it alongside some bread to avoid diverting from familiarity all together. The addition of peas and potatoes should also go well with kids. I hope you give this recipe a try and I’d love to hear back on how the girls liked it.
