Japanese Keema Curry
Keema (mince) curry is now a very popular choice on menus in Japan, and there tend to be two different sorts - either cooked dry or with a rich roux-thickened sauce. They are generally slightly sweeter than Indian keema dishes, and in Japan it’s often topped with a raw egg yolk, but a fried egg works just as well!

Tomato chicken curry, Japanese keema curry and paratha bread. AMAZING, going to put mash over left over Japanese keema to make a cottage pie with a kick
This was a real surprise, particularly with the fried egg and the pickled ginger. Sounded strange, but it all worked surprisingly well together. We will be making this again for friends at the weekend, and as the previous reviewer said, I can imagine this being fantastic as an upgraded cottage pie.
It's great to hear that this dish was a pleasant surprise for you, Dave - it's always great to leave your comfort zone and try something new! We hope your friends love it, too!

This all looks delicious, Tracy - especially those flaky, oily parathas! And what a great idea to transform your keema curry leftovers into a spicy cottage pie, this sounds wonderful!
