Keto Ground Beef Keema

This Indian staple food is a flavorful combination of shallot, warm and fragrant spices, meat, and tomatoes. It makes for a comforting dish that is easily accessible, even on a weeknight! Made Keto friendly by replacing peas and potatoes with green bean bites, it can be made with any meat you prefer—chicken, lamb, pork, goat meat, or minced pork or veal; just be sure to recalculate the macros with any changes. Want to make it in an instant pot? Here you go: Sauté the shallot in butter, add the ground beef and garlic powder and cook, breaking beef into small crumbles until cooked through. Add remaining ingredients and stir. Cook on High Pressure for 5 minutes and allow to release naturally for 10 minutes.

    My husband hates green beans anything I can substitute for them?

    • Hi Alice – you could try zucchini, although it might not need to cook as long. Cut the zucchini lengthwise in two halves, then cut each half lengthwise again. Then cut in 1″ long pieces.

    Amazingly simple, quick, and packed full of flavor. Spices are perfect. Sometimes I skip the green beans and put over steamed cauliflower rice. Keto-licious!

    This was really good. Maybe just a little too salty but that’s just my preference. It was so easy to make! I topped with cilantro and sour clream to cool it off a bit. I will definitly be making this again!

    • It looks harder than it really is, right! 🙂

    • Which type of salt did you use? Sea salt is coarser than table salt so if you used table salt and didn’t adjust the quantity, that could be why you found it salty.

  5. Loved this recipe. Warm and spicy with the perfect slight afterburn . Really good over mashed cauliflower.
