Ground Beef Curry (Kima Curry) image

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.

This curry is a great way to introduce kids to new flavors. It's not too spicy and the beef is very tender.
