Lobia Keema is a hearty and flavorful South Asian dish made with minced meat (keema) and black-eyed peas (lobia), cooked together in a rich, aromatic blend of spices. This dish combines the tender texture of ground meat with the creamy bite of black-eyed peas, creating a wholesome and protein-packed meal. Infused with onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and a mix of traditional spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala, Lobia Keema offers a deliciously spiced, slightly tangy, and deeply satisfying taste. It pairs perfectly with roti, naan, or rice, making it a comforting choice for lunch or dinner.<br /><br />Ingredients :<br /> <br />-Water 5-6 cups<br />-White beans (safaid lobia) soaked 1 & ½ cups<br /><br />Ingredients for Lobia Keema:<br /><br />-Cooking Oil 1/2 cup<br />-Onion (sliced) 1 cup ( Pyaz )<br />-Mutton / Beef mince 500 grams ( Keema)<br />-Green chilies 1 tbsp ( Hari Mirch )<br />-Ginger garlic paste 2 tbsp ( Adrak , Lehsun )<br />-Tomato paste 1 cup ( Tamatar)<br />-Cumin powder 1/2 tbsp ( Zeera )<br />-Coriander powder 1/2 tbsp ( Dhania powder )<br />-Red chili powder 1 tsp or to taste ( Lal Mirch Powder )<br />-Turmeric powder 1/2 tsp ( Haldi Powder )<br />-Salt 1 tsp or to taste ( Namak )<br />-Yogurt 1 cup ( Dahi )<br />-Boiled white beans <br />-Butter 1 tbsp ( Makhan )<br />-Water 1 cup or as required ( pani )<br />-Green coriander (chopped) as required (Hara dhania )<br />-Garam Masala 1 tsp<br />-Green Chilies 2 -3 ( Hari Mirch )<br />-Ginger julienne cut ( Adrak )<br /><br />Directions for Boiled Beans:<br /><br />-Soak white beans for 2 hours.<br />-In a pot add water and white beans.
