Dum Qeema ~BBQ Mincemeat



I marinate and freeze fresh mincemeat, which shortens the cooking time when preparing this dish, as well infusing the marinade well into the meat. Dum Qeema can be enjoyed on its own, with any choice of bread or rice. You can make it as spicy or not as per your taste buds.
