Aloo Keema Mattar

Recipe

Intro

Aloo keema mattar is a dish that everyone loves. I have a few different ways of cooking this dish. The different methods give different flavours and textures to the dish.

This is a popular Pakistani meal normally served with roti or naan. However, there are so many things that can be made with leftover aloo keema such as toasties, pastries, desi spaghetti bolognese, shepherds pie, lasagna, etc.

Here is one of the ways I cook this dish…

What you need

Getting it done

  • Step-1

    In a pressure cooker add the mincemeat, spices, salt onions, tomatoes, crushed garlic and ginger. Add 1 ltr of water and turn on the cooker and cook for 25 mins after the whistle starts blowing on the pressure cooker.

  • Step-2

    Once the mincemeat is cooked, sieve it to separate the meat from the meat stock. Set the stock aside, you will need this to cook the curry.

  • Step-3

    In a wide wok or karahi heat some oil. Add the mincemeat to the oil and fry it on a medium to high heat for 4-5 mins until it has browned.

  • Step-4

    Add half of the stock to the mincemeat to help it cook and to stop it from sticking. Also add the green chillies and continue cooking for another 4-5 mins. You will need to keep stirring to stop it from sticking. I added 2 big green chillies, you can adjust according to your taste.

  • Step-5

    Whilst that is cooking away, peel, wash and cut the potatoes into small chunks, about 1 cm big.

  • Step-6

    Add the potatoes and peas to the mincemeat and mix well. Continue to cook on a medium heat for 4-5 mins.

  • Step-7

    Add the remaining stock and mix. Cook for another 4-5 mins until the potatoes start to soften.

  • Step-8

    Add a little water and cover and cook on a low heat until the potatoes are fully cooked.

  • Step-9

    Garnish with chopped coriander.

Chicken Sashlik ⬇️ 

I absolutely love pan Asian food. It’s a fusion of Chinese and south Asian flavours and they pair so well together. The sweet & tangy flavour of the sauce goes well with egg fried rice. 

Ingredients:
500g chicken thigh
1 tbsp white vinegar
3 tbsp light soy sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp red chilli flakes.
.
Sauce:
Cooking oil
4 cloves garlic
500ml tomato passata
1/2 cup tomato ketchup
1 tbsp sriracha sauce
3 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp cornflour mixed in 200ml cold water 
2 peppers cut into large chunks
1 onion cut into chunks
Spring onion for garnishing

1. Add the chicken and the marination ingredients to a bowl, mix and leave to marinate for at least half an hour or a few hours.
2. Heat up a pan with some oil and sauce the chopped garlic for a few seconds.
3. Next add the marinated chicken and cook until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
4. In the same pan, add the tomato passata, ketchup, sriracha sauce, light soy sauce, white vinegar, black pepper & sugar, mix and cook for 2-3 mins. 
5. Add in the cornflour slurry (mix before adding it as the cornflour settles at the bottom of the water)
6. Cover and cook for a few mins until the sauce thickens.
7. Now add the peppers and onions, cover and cook for a few mins until the veg is soft but still crunchy.
8. Add the cooked chicken back into the sauce and mix well.
9. Garnish with spring onions and serve with egg fried rice.

5 reasons why I meal prep below ⬇️ 

1. I love being organised!
2. I don’t have to think what do cook every day. 
3. It frees up times to work, for self care, to socialise and spend time with my family.
4. Meal prepping and planning helps you budget for your food.
5. There is less food waste.

I’m currently working on a meal prep and planning course, which should hopefully be launching soon on my website 🙂

Brush over some whisked egg to the top part of the spring roll and then tightly roll the spring roll ensuring all of the spring roll is stuck together and not loose. Repeat this until all the filling is used.

Did you love this hack?
Cooking is such an essential skill but it’s sadly a lost skill in the western world. I feel cooking should be taught in schools where children learn to cook real meals with fresh produce and help out in the kitchens for school dinners and learn how to create menus and food budgets for when they’re older and need to cook for themselves.

Yesterday I shared my chicken salad lunch and had lots of you asking how I made it! Here is how I made the chicken. Once it was cooled down I added some salad to the chicken and drizzled over some salad dressing and that’s it! Simple, quick & easy to make. You can prep the chicken in advance and keep it in a airtight container to use over a few days.

Prepping your meals in advance doesn’t mean you have to eat the same boring meals everyday. 

I plan what I’m cooking for the following week on a Friday and I’ll do the food shop on the Friday or Saturday. Then I’ll cook all the food for the week ahead on the Sunday. Things like salad, boiling rice I’ll do fresh before eating but most of the meals are ready. 

Meals I’ve cooked for meal prepping in the photos are:

1. Chicken katsu curry with udon noodles & a pickled salad
2. Moroccan lamb stew with lemon Cous Cous and a side salad 
3. Leftover mince & black eyed bean curry with cheese in a panini toasted for lunch
4. Mince & black eyed bean curry with roti & salad 
5. Pakora wrap with imli chutney, chilli sauce & salad 
6. Chicken & veg pasta 
7. Mackerel Cous Cous salad
