Report
Aloo Keema (Ground Beef & Potato Curry) is a nostalgia-inducing Pakistani one-pot meal cooked with fresh ingredients and simple spices.
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 lb keema (see notes)
- ¼ cup cooking oil
- 2 onions (see notes)
- 2 teaspoon garlic paste
- 4 teaspoon ginger paste
- 4 roma tomatoes (see notes)
- 2 cup water
- 2 teaspoon coriander powder
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon red chili powder
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2 Serrano peppers (see notes)
- 2 potatoes (see notes)
- ¼ cup cilantro
Instructions
- Dice the onions and saute them in preheated cooking oil till they're a light brown
- Add the garlic paste and two teaspoons of ginger paste and saute for 30 seconds.
- Add the Keema (ground beef) and saute it till it's no longer pink.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, stir to mix, and add 1 cup of water. Cover and simmer on medium heat for 10 minutes.
- Uncover and turn the heat to high so the excess liquid can evaporate.
- Add the spices and start roasting the ground beef to break down the onions and tomatoes—about 10 minutes.
- Once the liquid evaporates, add in the serrano peppers and remaining ginger and saute for a few minutes.
- Add in the diced potatoes, stir to mix, add 1 cup of water, cover and cook on low till the potatoes are cooked through - about 10 minutes.
- Uncover, turn on high to let any excess liquid evaporate, garnish with the cilantro and serve.
Notes
- The keema - Use extra lean (95% lean) ground beef. Fatty ground beef can taste chewy due to the ground fat.
- The onions - I like to use two medium yellow onions, roughly chopped. This is about 2 cups.
- The tomatoes - Roma tomatoes are best for curries as they're soft and juicy, making blending them into a fine paste easier. I used four large tomatoes for this recipe, roughly equal to 2 cups.
- The serrano peppers - I use serrano peppers for all my curries. If you find these too spicy, add jalapenos instead. Another option is to leave the pepper whole instead of cutting it into large pieces, as I've done.
- The potatoes - I like to dice the potatoes for my Aloo Keema small, about ½ inch cubes. It makes it easier to scoop them up with the Naan.
