Kheema Pav

Kheema pav is a type of street food in India that combines spicy minced meat preparation with soft, buttery pav or bread rolls. Mumbai and other regions delight in combining spices and textures to create just the right balance. Kheema is an elaboration of onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and various spices like garam masala, cumin, and turmeric cooked with minced lamb or chicken. The outcome is a hearty, aromatic curry that is as spicy as comforting. Kheema pav involves cooking minced meat with onions and spices until tender and fully flavoured. Tomatoes and other ingredients like peas or potatoes may be included to give the meal more depth. The kheema is served with pav, lightly butter-toasted to crisp the bread and give it a golden brown texture. The spicy, savoury kheema mingles deliciously with the soft pav to produce an irresistible combination of flavours and textures. It's a simple recipe to follow and can be modified to taste. Whether the kheema is taken with more chilli or less, or even with a more significant amount of garam masala, it allows for personalising to the palate. The kheema pav is often enjoyed as an on-the-go snack or served for the heartiest of meals. Kheema pav is enjoyed on any given day, but the explosion of flavours leaves one appreciating the richness of Indian street food.
