A definite favorite! I've made it twice now and my family just loves it. We've only just recently started experiencing Indian cuisine and we love it. The only kheema dish we've tried before had more of a tomato base to it, and it was good, but we prefer this one. Next time I might add some cauliflower and have sort of a kheema/aloo gobi mix. Yum! Thanks, Jane, for posting!

I was looking for a one-dish meal that was a little different than my usual chili-mac. I was a little leery with this one because I have made some disastrous Indian meals, but I am thrilled that I went for it. I pretty much followed exactly and added Greek yogurt and 1% milk. I cut up the potatoes pretty small due to the other reviewers saying it took longer to get them done and it took the exact time that it stated. My whole family loved this! I will be making this often!
