- 1 large tomato, diced
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until it turns translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 7-8 minutes.
Mix in diced tomato, curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, and cayenne pepper. Stir well to combine all the spices with the meat.
Pour in coconut aminos, then season with salt and black pepper. Stir to mix everything evenly and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Add frozen peas and stir them into the meat mixture. Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the peas are heated through.
Uncover the skillet and check the seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper if needed.
Remove the skillet from the heat, then stir in chopped cilantro.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the Keema Matar before enjoying.
