Lamb Keema Curry (serves 4)
This recipe is based on my Nan's Cape Malay keema Curry. It's one that I absolutely love as a kid and you can use either beef or lamb mince however, I absolutely love the fattiness of lamb. Please try to get the best quality mince your budget will allow as this will really make a difference. You can enjoy this with rice, and if you make the effort of flaky buttery roti is my favourite from mopping up this incredible Curry. I won't lie, I also like peas in mine for a little bit of sweetness.
