Vegan Richa's Instant Pot Lentil Keema with PeasWe love using our Instant Pot! It’s useful for so many recipes, and can be used any time of the year.  We especially love using it during the hot summers when you don’t want to heat up your kitchen by using the stove. It’s also extremely handy to have around during the fall and winter months when your time is filled with school, sports and holiday activities.You can make desserts in it, too!

Keema recipes are found throughout India. This tasty recipe uses lentils and walnuts in place of ground meat that is usually used in making keema. Including spices such as sage, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg and cayenne, along with garam masala and Baharat, give this easy-to-make dish complex flavors. Keema is very versatile, and can be used in tacos, sandwiches, burritos, or just served with rice.

This recipe calls for garam masala, and Richa’s special blend can be found in Vegan Richa’s Flavor Companion, or you can make it at home! There are many versions of garam masala, and they vary region by region, according to family recipes or personal taste. Vegan Richa’s Garam Masala is fragrant and flavorful, and will be a flavorful addition to your spice cabinet.
