Etymology
The Persian word gheimeh (also transliterated as qeimeh) derives from Classical Persian qeema which comes from a Turkic word qıyma 'minced meat', like the Urdu qīmā/keema, Turkish kıyma and Greek kimás.[1][2]
Iraqi variant
Iraqi qeema is made with finely diced meat and crushed split peas, and is prepared on a large communal scale at the annual Āshūrā commemorations.
