Keema Aloo

Today I made a plant based version of Keema Aloo that I really liked and I think you will too!

Keema Aloo is a Pakistani ground meat (keema) and potato (aloo) dish.  If you’re not concerned with making this dish vegan/plant based just use regular ground beef.  Today I used Gardein’s plant based ground be’f but feel free to use your favorite plant based ground beef alternative.  I found this recipe in the Bosh Healthy Vegan cookbook and pretty much stuck to the recipe but cut ingredients in half since I didn’t need more than 2 servings.

I’m eating this Keema Aloo with a small Naan bread that I like to char on my gas stove.
