  • Kachnar Keema Recipe (Kachnar with Minced Meat)

    LET’S CELEBRATE SPRING

    Today marks the start of spring. Traditional rites and festivals of spring revolved around its importance in growing food. Plants start to grow and animals come out of hibernation and begin reproducing. People come out of hibernation too!

    I’m really excited to be back with another Traditional Pakistani recipe (if you didn’t see my Kachnar Gosht and Karela Gosht then I’d really recommend you give those a try too).

    So let’s celebrate spring with another Traditional Pakistani food (Kachnar Keema). 

     Kachnar Keema Recipe

    A Lil Bit About Kachnar:

    Kachnar/Orchid is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, native to southeastern Asia, from southern China west to Pakistan and India.

    Kachnar tree, Bauhinia variegate, is also known as Orchid tree or Butterfly tree because of the way it’s flowers look. This is a very popular ornamental tree in subtropical and tropical climates, grown for its scented flowers and also used as food item in South Asian cuisine.

    Varieties of Kachnar:

    Kachnar has three varieties (red, white and mauve) depending upon the colour of its flowers.

    Kachnar Keema

    In Pakistan, its buds are considered a delicacy. They are available for a short season only and are difficult and expensive to buy. Eating Kachnar ( Orchid)is very beneficial for our health as this vegetable is blessed with advantages and it taste is really good when cooked with addition of any mince meat(keema).  

    Kachnar Keema Recipe

    One thing I love about cooking is discovering new flavours that go together, especially when it’s flavours that you wouldn’t necessarily think to put together and today’s Kachnar Keema recipe is one of those creations.

    My take on a traditional Pakistani Kachnar Keema with lamb mince, kachnar buds, and served hot chapatai and Raita.

    I’ve been trying to perfect Kachnar Keema for a while, but I’ve always found that it was lacking a little something – it had meatiness from the lamb, bitterness from the kachnar buds and saltiness from the spices but it needed just a hint of creaminess. A few weeks ago on a whim (figuring that mince meat and yogurt go well) I decided to add some yogurt to my Kachnar Keema and the problem was solved – it is delicious.

    If you’re reading this and thinking “hmmmm, what would be the taste, or would I like this recipe?” then stop!! Whilst you can taste the flavour of the kachnar, it compliments the mince rather than overpowering it.

    Soooooooo…. convinced? 😉

    Extra-Bonus Tips :

    Before serving sprinkle lemon juice if this is to your taste. (I think it improves the flavour.) It’s good with naan, chapattis, or any other kind of bread, and Zeera Raita (Cumin Yogurt Sauce).
    This has Taste and is a Treat.

    Methi Chicken Recipe – A Tasty Tweak to your regular Chicken Curry

    Methi Chicken (Chicken Curry with Fenugreek Leaves)

    Methi Chicken Recipe
    Methi Chicken Recipe (Chicken Curry with Fenugreek Leaves)

    This Methi Chicken is one of my go-to recipes when I want to cook a simple, wholesome non-vegetarian meal for my family. The basic recipe for this dish is my Mother’s so I know it is good as I grew up eating it. The fresh Methi (fenugreek) leaves add a lovely, earthy flavor to this dish. You can also use dried fenugreek if you don’t have access to fresh leaves and you should be able to find both fairly easily in any grocery.

    Methi Chicken Recipe (Chicken Curry with Fenugreek Leaves)
