BEEF KEEMA CURRY (INDIAN GROUND BEEF)

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.

KEEMA ALOO (GROUND BEEF AND POTATOES)

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.
• Mix ground beef, garlic, ginger, serrano chile, and cilantro into pan; cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir coriander, salt, cumin, cayenne pepper, and turmeric into the beef; cook and stir until flavors blend, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and potatoes, cover pot, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Mix green peas into dish and cook until sauce has slightly thickened and flavors have blended, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle garam masala over the dish, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

KEEMA (INDIAN SPICED GROUND VEAL AND BEEF WITH PEAS)

Steps:

• In a nonstick skillet set over moderately high heat, warm the oil until hot. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Add the veal, beef, and salt and pepper to taste, and cook, stirring, until no longer pink. Add the garlic, tomatoes, gingerroot, Garam Masala, and chilies, and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add the peas and continue to cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes more, or until flavors blend. Stir in the lemon juice and cilantro and correct seasoning, adding more salt if necessary. Either transfer to a bowl and serve with warm rotis or tortillas or spoon Keema down center of bread and roll up like a burrito.

KEEMA (SPICED GROUND MEAT)

Steps:

• In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned and caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Add the garlic, ginger and green chile to a food processor, and pulse until finely chopped. Add the tomatoes, caramelized onions and any oil from the skillet, and process again until finely chopped. Return the mixture to the skillet and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
• Stir in the ground beef. Sprinkle with the chile powder and 1 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring occasionally to break up any clumps of meat, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the fat has floated up to the surface, about 30 minutes.
• Taste and adjust the salt, then stir in half the fresh herbs. Sprinkle with garam masala and remaining herbs and serve.
