Keema is ground meat of any kind, it can be chicken, lamb, beef or turkey turned into a delectable not so saucy curry that is flavorful and lends itself to be presented in so many ways. Keema curry can be served with parathas, filling for a sandwich, dosa, and in this case with tacos. My family loves keema served this way topped with a crisp zesty kachumbar salad and spicy cilantro crema. <strong>Kachumbar<\/strong> is a simple table salad of chopped cucumber, onion, radish and tomatoes. It makes a perfect accompaniment to these keema tacos. Hope you try this recipe, if you do please leave a comment or tag me on Instagram. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
