"Keema" or "qeema" is used in a variety of dishes such as a stewed or fried curry dish of minced beef, mutton, or other meats with green peas or potatoes. It usually includes ghee/butter, onions, garlic, ginger, chilis, green peas and spices. "Keema" can be grilled on a skewer, and called "seekh" kebab, or used as a filling for samosas or naan. The word ultimately comes from the Turkic word "qıyma" meaning 'minced meat', and is thus related to the Persian "gheimeh", the Turkish "kıyma", and the Greek κιμάς.
