Keema Matar | Keema Mutter is a delicious minced meat and green peas Indian/Pakistani curry. Learn how to make this delicious dish with a twist, using a fresh green spice paste to flavor it up!

When I think of keema, the first thing that comes to my mind is keema pav (dinner roll stuffed or served with the seasoned minced meat mixture).
To make this keema matar, I’ve used my homemade Goan cafreal masala, a very fragrant spice paste, consisting of coriander leaves and whole spices along with ginger, garlic, tamarind, and green chilies!
This green masala is so versatile, it even makes a simple chicken curry taste out the world! Vegetarians can substitute soy granules/TVP, although I’ve never tried a vegetarian version, I’m sure it will taste just as good:)

This fruit custard with jelly | layered jelly and custard is a delicious dessert, that is so easy to whip up and requires no fancy ingredients! Treat your guests with this simple yet impressive dessert!

I have such fond memories of Fruit custard with jelly ! This dessert was a regular affair at my place, my mom made this mostly on Sunday’s to treat us something sweet after a scrumptious meal 🙂 My sister was never fond of custard, so I always ended up having her share !!

I served this dessert as jelly custard cups because it does look fancy. Another way of serving it is to place the custard and set jelly in separate bowls. You could mix the chopped fruits in the custard and let it chill, or serve the fruits separately too. And let your guests take as much custard and jelly as they want.

Fruit Custard With Jelly | Layered Jelly & Custard
Ingredients1x2x3x
Measuring cup used, 1 Cup = 250 ml, 1 tsp = 5 ml
- 2 cups whole milk
- 3 tbsp custard powder, vanilla flavor, or any other flavor of your choice
- 3 to 4 tbsp sugar or as per desired sweetness
- 1 Jell dessert packet
- 1.5 cups of chopped assorted fruits, I used mixed berries, grapes & kiwis
Instructions
- Prepare Jelly as per package instructions. Keep it aside to set. Once it is lukewarm, pour about 1/4 cup in serving glasses or bowl. Leave it to set completely in the refrigerator.
- To prepare the custard: Dissolve the custard powder in about 1/4 cup of milk (room temperature/cold), mix well to form a smooth paste. Set aside. Boil in the remaining milk along with the sugar in a saucepan. Add the prepared custard paste in the boiling milk and heat further for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously. To avoid the skin on top of the custard, place a cling wrap on the surface of the custard before it sets. Refrigerate it until further use.
- To assemble: pour about 3 tablespoons of the custard over the set jelly, top with some chopped fruits.
