Gheimeh, gheymeh, or qeimeh () is an Iranian stew (khoresh) consisting of diced mutton, tomatoes, split peas, onion, and dried lime, garnished with golden, thinly sliced crispy potatoes. The stew is sometimes garnished with fried eggplant and is usually served with white rice (polow).
==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.
