KHEEMA: INDIAN GROUND BEEF WITH PEAS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, warm the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until golden. Add the garlic and ginger, and saute for another minute. Stir in the coriander, paprika, Garam Masala, cumin and cayenne, if using and cook for 1 minute.
• Add the beef, breaking up lumps with a spoon, and saute until the meat is no longer pink. Add the tomatoes, 1 cup of water and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle in the fresh English peas. Stir well and simmer, partially covered, about 10 minutes or if using frozen peas, add them now, and cook another 5 minutes, partially covered.
• Stir in the vinegar and chopped cilantro. Garnish with torn cilantro leaves and serve with warm chapatis or pita bread.
• Combine the cinnamon sticks, cloves, green cardamom seeds, black cardamom seeds, if using, in a spice grinder or coffee grinder and grind until fine. Store the spice mix in an airtight container away from direct sunlight.

KHEEMA MATAR (BEEF AND PEA CURRY)

Steps:

• Melt ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds; stir until fragrant and starting to crackle, about 1 minute. Stir in onion, jalapeno pepper, curry, garlic, ginger, and bay leaves. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion starts to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Pour tomatoes into the skillet; stir to combine, about 2 minutes. Add chili powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and salt; stir thoroughly. Add beef; cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up the meat, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until flavors combine, about 15 minutes. Add frozen peas, cover, and simmer until heated through, about 10 minutes. For a thicker consistency, increase heat to medium and simmer curry, uncovered, until sauce reduces, about 5 minutes.

ALOO KEEMA

Steps:

• Wash mince well and drain in a fine strainer. When using potatoes, I normally microwave them for 1-2 mins covered in the microwave before adding them to the dish.
• Heat a karhai or wok over med-high; add 2 tbsp oil. Add onions and stir around. Add the black peppercorns and cloves, and about a 1/3 of the ginger. Stir this occasionally for 3-4 mins until beginning to colour.
• Add ginger-garlic paste and fry for 30 seconds. Add the potatoes and stir over med-high for 1 and a half minutes Add tomatoes and turmeric; stir for 1 minute Add a 1/2 cup of hot water and cover over medium heat for 6 mins, shaking occasionally while covered to make sure the mixture doesn't stick.
• Uncover and stir. Add another 1/4 cup of water and cook further 5 mins covered.
• Add chilli powder and cumin powder. Mix over med-high, stirring often for 2 minutes Add 1/4 cup of water and stir. Let the mixture cook for 1 minute, then add the keema. Stir constantly over med-high for 1 minute, breaking up any lumps of mince.
• Add garam masala and 1 tsp salt. Stir the mixture slowly and regularly for 2 minutes Add about 1/3 of remaining ginger and stir through. Add the chopped green chilli and stir through. Cook the keema covered for 10 mins over medium heat, until the mixture is drying and the potatoes are tender.
• Uncover and add sugar, stirring slowly for 1 minute. Remove 1 of the potatoes onto a small plate, mash with a fork and return to the mixture. Mix it through.
• Add half the remaining ginger and the whole mint leaves. Increase heat to med-high and stir regularly for 3-5 mins until you have a dry keema.
• Place in a serving dish and garnish with remaining ginger, some chopped mint, and wedges of tomato and lemon.

KHEEMA MALAI KOFTA

Steps:

• Mix the ground beef, egg, green chile peppers, bread crumbs, ginger, garlic, garam masala, and salt together in a large bowl until evenly mixed. Shape the mixture into balls (koftas) about the size of limes.
• Heat 1 1/2 cups oil in a large, deep skillet or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry the koftas in the hot oil until browned and crispy on all sides, 10 to 15 minutes.
• To make the gravy, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Fry the garlic, ginger, red chili powder, garam masala, fennel seed, and salt in the hot oil for 1 to 2 minutes; stir the pureed tomatoes into the mixture and cook until the tomatoes are deep red in color, about 10 minutes. Add the water, fenugreek leaves, and the koftas to the mixture and simmer until thoroughly reheated, another 10 minutes. Pour the cream into the mixture and cook another 2 to 3 minutes. Garnish with cilantro to serve.
