  • 1 pound Ground Beef (Try ground turkey or a plant-based alternative for a lighter or vegetarian version.)
  • 1 large Yellow Onion (Consider using shallots or leeks for a different flavor profile.)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger (Ground ginger can be used if fresh is not available.)
  • 4 cloves Garlic (Use garlic powder as a substitute if fresh garlic is not on hand.)
  • 1 teaspoon Sea or Kosher Salt (Adjust based on dietary needs.)
  • 1 teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper (Can substitute with white pepper if preferred.)
  • 2 tablespoons Curry Powder (Choose your favorite brand for a personalized touch.)
  • 1 tablespoon Garam Masala (Can be replaced with an equal amount of curry powder if needed.)
  • 1 teaspoon Turmeric (Provides color and health benefits.)
  • 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste (Substitute with fresh diced tomatoes for a lighter option.)
  • 14.5 ounces Fire-Roasted Diced Tomatoes (Regular diced tomatoes can work if necessary.)
  • 1 can Full-Fat Unsweetened Coconut Milk (Can substitute with heavy cream or dairy-free alternatives.)
  • 1 cup Frozen Baby Peas (Can substitute with green beans or spinach for variety.)
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro (Omit for a less herbaceous taste.)
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice (Replace with lemon juice if needed.)
  • 4 cups Steamed Rice or Naan (Cauliflower rice serves as a low-carb alternative.)

Instructions

  1. Roast Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Dice the Yukon Gold potatoes into uniform cubes, toss them in olive oil, and spread them on the baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until they’re golden and tender.
  2. Brown Beef and Onions: In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef and finely chopped yellow onion. Sauté for about 6-7 minutes, or until the beef is nicely browned and the onions have turned translucent.
  3. Add Aromatics: Stir in the freshly grated ginger and minced garlic, allowing them to cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
  4. Add Spices and Tomato Paste: Next, add salt, cracked black pepper, curry powder, garam masala, turmeric, and tomato paste. Cook this aromatic mixture for about 2 minutes.
  5. Simmer Curry Base: Pour in the fire-roasted diced tomatoes and full-fat coconut milk, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
  6. Add Peas and Potatoes: Stir in the frozen baby peas and the roasted Yukon Gold potatoes. Allow the curry to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the peas are heated through.
  7. Serve: Serve your delightful Easy Keema Curry over a bed of steamed rice or alongside warm naan, garnishing with fresh lime juice and a sprinkle of cilantro.
