Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 teaspoons ground coriander (~ For a quick substitute see the Notes below)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
2 pounds ground beef (~ Or see second Note below)
2 tablespoons oil
1 cup onion (~ Finely chopped)
1 teaspoon table or sea salt
1/4 cup ginger garlic paste
1 to 3 green chilies (~ Indian (finger), Thai, or Serrano chilies. I use 2 teaspoons of finely minced chili for a mild curry.)
2 teaspoons Kashmiri ground red chili
1/4 cup tomato paste (~ See subs below)
1/4 cup water
4 teaspoons lemon juice (~ Or lime juice, apple cider, or malt vinegar. To taste)
1 cup potato (~ Optional. Peeled and cut into 1/2-cubes)
1 cup peas (~ Optional, fresh or frozen. See Notes below.)
2 tablespoons cilantro, mint, fried curry leaves, crumbled feta, minced red onion, or a dollop of yogurt

Steps:

  • Gather your ingredients, mix the Spice Mix together if using, and place a small container of water by your stovetop.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Add in the onions and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook until the onion is golden brown, stirring frequently. About 8 to 12 minutes.
  • Add the ginger garlic paste and minced green chili. Cook for one minute or until the paste no longer smells raw. Stir frequently and add a bit of water if the mixture is sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Sprinkle in the ground spices and Kashmiri chili powder. Stir for another minute, adding a tablespoon of water as needed to prevent sticking.
  • Add the ground beef and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp of salt. Break it up with the back of a spoon. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Mix the tomato paste with 1/ 4 cup of water and stir into the meat.
  • Turn the heat up to high and add the potatoes now if using. When the sauce is boiling, cover and turn the heat to low, or the setting that allows for a gentle simmer.
  • Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or if using potatoes, until they are tender. You are typically looking for a dry curry; simmer for a few more minutes uncovered until the desired consistency. If you are topping rice with the keema or as an Indianish Sloppy Joes, leave some liquid. If stuffing samosa, or topping pizza you will want a fairly dry mixture.
  • If using peas: Over low heat stir in fresh or frozen peas and allow them to cook through. This will take just a few minutes.
  • Taste for enough acid, heat, and salt. Be sure to season your keema well. I find for my palate that another 1/8 teaspoon of salt and an additional sprinkle of lemon juice does the trick. If your dish tastes flat it needs a tiny bit more of these two ingredients or even a shake of ground red chili.
  • Skim any fat that collects on the top if you wish. And if you have time, allow the keema to rest covered, but off the heat, so that the flavors have some time to combine. As with most curries, it will taste even better the next day.
  • Garnish the beef keema curry as you wish with the optional ingredients listed above. Serve with a soft bun, flatbread, rice, and a salad. See Storing & Serving Notes above if needed.

GROUND BEEF CURRY (KIMA CURRY)

This recipe is from one of my new favorite cookbooks, Extending the Table. The notes on this recipe say that this Swahili dish is served by a restaurant in the heart of Nairobi. I have only modified it to make the recipe fit into Zaar format, to preserve the authenticity of the recipe. This is a very mild, very easy to make curry.

Provided by The Meatetarian

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian     Indian

Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 extra-large Spanish onion, chopped
2 tablespoons water
2 pounds lean ground beef
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger root
1 serrano chile pepper, finely chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin

3 potatoes, peeled and diced
1 cup frozen green peas
1 teaspoon garam masala

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion in the hot oil until soft and beginning to brown, about 12 minutes. If browned bits of onion are stuck to the bottom of the pan, stir water into onion and stir to loosen the browned bits.

Stir coriander, salt, cumin, cayenne pepper, and turmeric into the beef; cook and stir until flavors blend, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: Use 80/20 ground beef for a flavorful and juicy curry. Leaner ground beef will result in a drier curry.
  • Brown the ground beef properly: Do not overcrowd the pan when browning the ground beef. This will prevent the meat from cooking evenly and result in a bland curry.
  • Use a good quality curry powder: The curry powder is the key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a good quality one. Look for a curry powder that is fresh and has a deep, rich color.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spices: This recipe is a starting point, so feel free to adjust the spices to your liking. If you like a spicier curry, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder curry, reduce the amount of chili powder or cayenne pepper.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Ground beef curry can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, naan, roti, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Ground beef curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover ground beef. With its flavorful sauce and tender ground beef, this curry is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
