Lamb mince, peas, onion, and diced tomatoes in a rich sauce in a silver balti bowl.

India is on my priority list of places to visit. I WILL make it there someday! The sights, the tastes, the smells, the colors...India is an amazing place and if I could just go there and eat my way through I'd be happy. 🙂

I adore Indian food, and first discovered it while living in England. This Keema do Pyaza recipe is one of my favorites. Keema do Pyaza is a delicious spiced lamb mince simmered with tomatoes and yogurt...a perfect combination. 🙂 This dish cooks up quickly and has a huge depth of flavor due to the spices used: turmeric, coriander, cumin, cayenne, salt, garlic, and ginger.

Masala Box - Essential for Indian Cooking

I have a masala box to keep my spices handy, and I absolutely love it. It stores just the right amount of spices, and it's great to have all the spices regularly called for in Indian cooking right at hand.

Can you imagine the aroma that is created when you add the turmeric, coriander, cumin, and cayenne to the softened onion, garlic, and chilis? It is out of this world AMAZING!

If You Love Lamb Try This Recipe!

Do you like lamb? If so, you MUST try this recipe! Lamb is one of my favorite meats, and if you like lamb, I can almost guarantee you will love this recipe. 🙂

You'll want to serve the Keema do Pyaza with an onion salad, and either basmati rice (the KING of rices!) or naan bread. Just add the onion salad on top of the Keema do Pyaza, and then squeeze a bit of the lemon on top (believe me it works!). Serve your creation over basmati rice, or scoop up with naan. ABSOLUTELY DELECTABLE I PROMISE.

Here is the recipe for the Perfect Basmati Rice With Saffron. 🙂

About Me

Hi I’m Grace! I'm married and a mom to my fur baby, Toby, and food and travel are two of my greatest passions! Since our bank account does not allow us to travel or eat out as much as we'd like, I decided I would cook delicious meals that could give us a taste of all the places we'd like to go. My goal is to get you in the kitchen, and inspire you to cook and taste delightful meals that will transport you too. Let’s throw some actual travel in from time to time, all with an emphasis on keeping your wallet full and happy as well. Let’s get cooking and let’s start exploring!! I'm excited to be on this journey with you!!

By the way most of these recipes are Toby taste tested and Toby approved!!
