Ingredients

  • 200 g Konjac rice
  • 180 g Ground lamb
  • 1 tbsp Ghee
  • 1½ tsp Garam masala
  • 12 g Ginger
  • 40 g Tomato (optional)
  • 12 g Cilantro (optional)

Method

  1. Grate the ginger, grate the tomato and discard the skin, and chop the coriander.
  2. Drain the konjac rice and rinse it thoroughly under cold water, then dry-fry it in a hot pan for 3 minutes, shaking often, until the water has driven off and the grains squeak.
  3. Melt the ghee in a wide pan over high and add the lamb, breaking it up. Fry 7 minutes without stirring much, so the meat browns and crisps rather than steams.
  4. Stir in the ginger and garam masala and cook 1 minute, then add the grated tomato and cook 3 minutes more until the fat separates out clear and red at the edges of the pan.
  5. Spread the konjac rice in a bowl and spoon the keema over it with the spiced fat. Scatter the coriander.
