Slow Cooker Beef Keema Curry

This slow cooker beef keema curry is perfect if you want a set-and-forget slow cooker recipe.

Keema is usually made with either minced lamb or beef. It is an Indian dish that reminds me of a cross between bolognese and chilli – it’s kind of like a curried stew.

It’s the perfect meal to make in a slow cooker because you literally chuck it all in the slow cooker pot and leave it to slow cook for pretty much the whole day.

Preparing Keema Ingredients In the Slow Cooker

I find it easiest to mix everything together in the slow cooker – apart from the frozen peas, they go in at the end. This makes this a really minimal washing up recipe, my favourite kind.

If you are adding potatoes they can be added at this stage too. Either use chopped peeled Maris Piper potatoes, or you can use new potatoes or another potato variety.

Then, stir everything together.

Once everything is nicely stirred together, pop the lid on and leave it to cook on low for around 8 hours, or high for 4 hours.

If you are adding in some frozen peas or spinach leaves, add these in the last half an hour before you are ready to eat.

When you add the peas/spinach, if it looks like it needs to be a little thicker, just leave the lid off.

Serve with rice or naan bread.
