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

Mix garam masala, turmeric,coriander, cumin and chilli powder with 2 tbsps of water. Set aside.

Fry the cumin seeds and the chopped onions with 3 tbsps full of oil on medium heat. Cook till the onions become golden brown.

Add the ginger garlic paste and spices to the onion mixture and fry till aromatic.

Then add the remaining ingredients into the mixture and let it simmer on low heat.

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.

Finally, garnish with chopped coriander before you serve.

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.
