Lamb Keema With Scalloped Potatoes 

by Zars Kitchen Admin

Punjabi Mamas Keema is a staple in our house… I always double the recipe to freeze a few containers because it’s so versatile… sometimes we eat it with rice, roti/ chapati, I give it to the kids often in a taco or tortilla and my favvvv way to eat Keema is with buttery, crisp scalloped potatoes on top!

This Shan @shanfoods Stew/ Dopiaza Masala spice mix is available in Asian supermarkets but also on Amazon.
