It is often seasoned with salt and spices to make a range of meaty, delicious dishes. One of the most common uses of keema is in the preparation of kebabs.

But there lies a whole world beyond kebabs where keema can shine on its own. Take for instance this keema gujiya that has all it takes to appeal to all meat lovers.

For the outer covering
1. Take maida, add ghee, salt and water and make a soft dough.
2. Pull out round chunks and roll a thin round roti.
3. Add keema in the centre of the roti that you just rolled out.
4. Press the edges of the roti together, till you get a semi-circle dumpling. You can take the help of some water to do that. Make sure edges are nicely sealed to prevent your gujiyas from breaking.
5. Once the edges are secured. Deep fry them in oil on medium flame.
