Keema Matar

Keema curry is a meat dish from the Indian subcontinent. Unlike 'traditional' curries, it isn't made with chunks of meat but instead consists of strongly spiced minced meat. This can be either lamb or beef.

  • 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 large onion peeled and quartered
  • 2 tablespoon ginger paste
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 green chile Serrano or Birds Eye
  • 1 ½ lbs lean ground beef 85/15 or 80/20
  • 1 ½ tablespoon curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon Kashmiri chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground fenugreek
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 14 oz unsweetened coconut milk
  • 14 oz diced tomatoes drained
  • 1 cup baby peas frozen or canned
  1. Peel and cut potatoes into ½-inch dice, set aside.
  2. In a food processor, puree the onion, ginger paste, garlic and green chile until a paste forms.
  3. In a deep skillet over medium heat brown the ground beef for 3-4 minutes. Add the onion puree, curry powder, Kashmiri chili powder, fenugreek and salt. Cook another 3-4 minutes, stirring often.
  4. Stir in the potatoes, coconut milk and tomatoes. Turn heat to Low and cook, uncovered, for another 15-18 minutes, stirring often.
  5. Before serving, stir in frozen peas and cover for 4 minutes. Taste and season if needed. Serve with steamed rice and bread or flatbread of choice.
