Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 1 large onion
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
Stir in the curry powder, ground turmeric, ground cumin, garam masala, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the beef and cook for 1-2 minutes to release the spices' aromas.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes until they soften and blend into the mixture.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 5 minutes until the peas are heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve hot with steamed rice, naan bread, or your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!
