Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon, grated Ginger
- 2 medium, diced Tomatoes
- 2 medium, peeled and diced Potatoes
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish) Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and sauté for about 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for another minute.
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and all the spices: ground coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper, garam masala, and salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes soften and the spices are fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes and mix well with the beef and spices.
Pour in the water, bring the mixture to a simmer, and cover the skillet. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If the curry is too thick, you can add a splash of water to reach your desired consistency.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve hot with steamed rice or naan bread.
