What Makes This Kheema Pulao Recipe So Great?
Fast - Done in under 30 minutes.Easy - A simple Instant Pot recipe.Family-Friendly - Ingredients even the pickiest eaters will love.
I was fortunate enough to be asked to do a guest post on for a friend, and I choose to make an Instant Pot Keema Biryani that was posted today! I was worried that nothing I could come up with would be good enough to post on someone else’s blog. I kept trying to come with crazy ideas that would be “the thing”—and failing. It took me weeks to get over my nervousness and just cook. Once I decided to stop worrying and just do what I love, which is to make easy, tasty meals that I think people can proudly feed their families—well this Kheema Pulao came together really easily after that.
What Is Keema?
Keema is generally used to describe a traditional South Asian meat recipe that typically includes minced meat. For authentic Keema, you would ideally use mutton, but I pride my recipes on using ingredients that are easy to find. So, in this recipe, I used ground beef in place of the mutton. If you like my Pressure Cooker Ground Beef Shawarma and Rice recipe, you will likely also enjoy this Kheema pulao recipe. Note that a kheema Pulao is different from a biryani. It’s a simpler, but equally flavorful preparation and the spices, rice, and ground beef all cook together.
What Meat Do I Use To Make Keema Biryani?
In this recipe, I use ground beef because it is easy to come by and, let’s be honest, it’s what I had in my fridge. Here are a few other ideas on how to modify this Keema Biryani to fit whatever you’re craving:
