Ingredients




300 grams of mince beef
1 medium size onion chopped
2 smalls cardamon pods (slitted)
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 inch thick ginger, crushed
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon chilli powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 green chilli (cook as a whole)
Some chopped coriander for garnish

Preparation

1 Mix garam masala, turmeric,coriander, cumin and chilli powder with 2 tbsps of water. Set aside. 2 Fry the cumin seeds and the chopped onions with 3 tbsps full of oil on medium heat. Cook till the onions become golden brown. 3 Add the ginger garlic paste and spices to the onion mixture and fry till aromatic. 4 Then add the remaining ingredients into the mixture and  let it simmer on low heat. 5 When the oil starts to separate (a layer of oil form on top of the gravy), I add about half a cup of water and season with salt and allow the curry to simmer for a further 10 mins. 6 Finally, garnish with chopped coriander before you serve.

About


If the mixture starts to burn, add a little water to stop the burning. As there’s some moisture from the peas and mince, I did not add any water until the end of the cooking time.
