In our last article, titled as Pakistan Travel Series By Davidsbeenhere (Part-I), I had mentioned that Pakistani superstar Saman Ansari invited David for dinner. She cooked for David by herself and I had also mentioned all the dishes that she cooked for him. To know more about that dinner party click here. However, in this article, I’m going to give you the Recipe of Dam Wala Keema – A Recipe By Superstar Saman Ansari. Before getting you to the recipe let me introduce you to the superstar, Saman Ansari.
Saman Ansari is a multi-talented performer who has carved up a name for herself in just four years. In Dar Si Jati Hai Sila, we saw her play Sila’s mother, who was helpless in the face of a man (whom everyone in the family trusted) making sexual attempts toward her and her daughter. In the drama serial Khaani, she played the role of a manipulative mother who adored her kid (played by Feroze Khan) and had spoiled him beyond recognition.
“I am an accidental actress, so I haven’t taken any professional instruction in acting,” she remarked when asked if she had received any formal acting training. However, for my NAPA debut, I recently received training from Khalid Ahmed and Zia Moyheuddin.” Saman Ansari starred in the recently finished theatrical production Jasoosi Duniya, and her performance was impressive considering it was her first time acting in front of a live audience. Therefore, by introducing herself to David she said: “there is a saying about me, THERE IS ONLY ONE SAMAN ANSARI!”
What is Dam Wala Keema?
Dam Wala Keema, also known as Dam Ka Keema, is a dish of mincemeat. There are several recipes of Dam Wala Keema in Pakistani Food cuisine including household recipes. Having diversity in their food culture, Pakistani people love to cook in their unique styles. That’s why you would have found different recipes for the same dish in my country. Dam Wala Keema is one of my favorite dishes and a dish from my bucket list that I want to learn. However, the following isn’t my recipe of Dam Wala Keema instead it’s a recipe by Saman Ansari.
The Way Saman Ansari Cooks:
Being an acting queen, she also has amazing skills in cooking. She cooked Pakistani traditional daal, Dam Wala Keema, and Soya Aluu for David. She cooked Dam Wala Keema or beef mincemeat in organic Desi Ghee. Though, you can get the complete recipe in the recipe card but here is the overview of Saman Ansari’s recipe of Dam Wala Keema.
The Recipe:
Take a cooking pan or Karahi or whatever you have and add organic Desi Ghee or clarified butter. After heating up on medium flame add finely chopped onions into that butter. Then stir and cook until the onions change their colour. After, add chopped tomatoes, ginger garlic paste, some green chillies, and some local masala powder. Then add minced beef meat and keep string and cooking until all the water is evaporated. Once the water is evaporated add some more desi ghee and cook on high flame for 3 to 4 minutes. At the last step, place the coal piece covered in foil paper. Then put some ghee on the coal piece and cover the lid for giving ‘Dum’. Remember one thing, you have to give Dum to your Dum Wala Keema just before serving to your guests or family members. That will give you a spicy smoked taste and pleasure you with an aromatic smell.
