Notes

If making kheema for picnic or travel or canning, add more oil while cooking.You can always remove extra layer of oil from top after heating but the oil layer on top protects food from spoiling.You may add less or more oil as per your taste. With some left over keema you can make tasty Bohra Lasanyo breakfast.
