Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef or lamb
- 100 grams Frozen green peas
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 inch piece Ginger, grated
- 2 medium Tomatoes, chopped
- 1 Green chili, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
- 0.5 bunch Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 Lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for 2 more minutes.
Add the chopped green chili and cook for an additional minute.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground meat to the pan. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until it is browned all over, about 6-7 minutes.
Once the meat is browned, add the coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, turmeric, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well to combine the spices with the meat.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the chopped tomatoes, and cook until the tomatoes are soft and the oil begins to separate from the masala, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the frozen green peas, mix well, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the peas are cooked through.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving.
Serve hot with a side of low-carb options such as cauliflower rice or a fresh salad.
