ALOO KEEMA RECIPE(GROUND BEEF AND POTATO CURRY).

Steps:

• Wash and peel the potatoes then cut them into 1/2″ cubes. set aside until used. Place a large frying pan or skillet over low-medium fire and pour in the oil(3 tbs). Add the sliced onions(2 medium-sized ones) and cook until they turn translucent. Add the cumin seeds(1/2 tsp), cardamom pods(2 slightly bruised), cloves(2), cinnamon(2″ piece), fresh peppercorns(1 tsp). Cook over low-medium heat for 60 seconds lightly without burning the spices. Add the ginger and garlic paste(1 tbs, substitute with 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, about 3 cloves and 1 tablespoon of minced ginger, 2″inch piece of ginger piece). Cook for a further 20-30 seconds over low heat. And then add the ground beef keema(500g). Cook the ground beef mince while breaking them down. Season with salt as you need and cook until all the natural liquid of the beef mince evaporates. Add cumin powder(1 tsp), coriander powder(2 tsp), turmeric powder(1/4 tsp), red chilli powder(1 tsp, increase or reduce as per your need), pepper powder(1/2 tsp). Add the yogurt(1/3 cup, stirred well). Combine all of the above ingredients and add the tomatoes(3 medium chopped), green chillies(2 chopped). Combine all of the above ingredients and then immediately add the cubed potatoes(having the potatoes cut small will help them cook faster). add 1/2 a cup of water. Cover and slow simmer until the potatoes are soft, add more water if needed and continue to cook. taste and season with salt if you need. Cook until the water gradually reduces and the aloo keema turns thick. Serve warm with any of the meal ideas given above. I've noticed my kids hate biting into whole cardamom, cloves or pepper corns as they enjoy the curry, so if you are serving it to a younger crowd make sure to remove the above as you serve.
