Serve the kima hot over a bed of cooked rice. Garnish with additional flaked coconut, if desired.
For a richer flavor, try browning the ground beef with a tablespoon of ghee instead of butter.
If you prefer a spicier kima, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a finely chopped green chili along with the other spices.
Fresh peas can be used instead of frozen, but may require a slightly longer cooking time.
Serve with a dollop of plain yogurt or raita for a cooling contrast to the spices.
Kima also tastes great with naan or roti.
