Keema means minced meat; chole translates as chickpeas. Put the two together and you get this easy-to-make but flavorful and satisfying main. We season the curry with garlic, ginger and select spices, and a small can of tomatoes helps form a rich, lightly tangy sauce. If you like, use ground lamb in place of the beef. Prep the cilantro during the simmer time and dinner can be on the table in under 45 minutes. We like this keema chole garnished with sliced jalapeños and plain yogurt, and with lemon wedges and warm flatbread on the side.
Don’t bother rinsing the chickpeas. Simply drain them of their liquid. The small amount of starchy liquid left clinging to them will lend a little body to the curry.
