What is Keema?

Keema is a dish made of minced meat, onion, tomato and spices. It is quite popular among meat lovers in India.

Keema is usually enjoyed with rice, chapathi, naan, and pav, but you can also enjoy it in a wrap or a sandwich.

What is Mushroom Keema?

Mushroom Keema is essentially a meatless Keema where meat is replaced with minced mushrooms. Mushroom adds a wonderful umami flavor and blends really well with the other ingredients.

How to make Mushroom Keema?

Wash and finely mince the mushroom. You can use a food processor or just mince it with a knife like I did.

Heat a flat pan and add one tablespoon oil. Add 1 green chili, 2 teaspoon chopped ginger, 4 minced garlic and 1 finely chopped white onion. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes till onion turns soft.

Add mushroom and cook uncovered for 5-7 minutes till some of the liquid is absorbed.

Add 1 medium tomato and cook further till all the liquid evaporates.

Notes

Meat Masala can be subbed with tandoori masala.
Being a Vegetarian, I was some one who was always skeptical about using meat masala.  Meat masala does not have any meat products in the masala, so its a great option to use in curries.
