  • 1 tbsp garlic (finely diced)
  • 1 tbsp ginger (finely diced)
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder (or more to taste)

  • 1 cup frozen peas (140g)
  • 1/4 cup water (60ml)

Instruction

  • Warm the oil in a medium skillet/frying pan over a medium heat. Add the cinnamon stick and cardamon and let them sizzle a couple minutes. Add the onions and cook for around 5 minutes until softened but not browning. 
  • Stir in the garlic and ginger, cook a minute, then add the dried spices (coriander, turmeric, chili, cinnamon and cloves). Stir through to mix. 
  • Next, add the ground beef (or other ground meat) and brown all over, breaking up and stirring as you go. Add the tomato and stir through. Season with a little salt and pepper to taste. Cook around 5 minutes or so until the tomato appears cooked then add the peas and water. Cook a minute or two more then serve. Often traditionally served with Indian breads such as paratha, also works well with rice.
