Ingredients
- 200 grams onions
- 100 grams carrot
- 12 grams garlic
- 12 grams ginger
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- 450 grams ground beef
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs (optional)
Instructions
- Grate 200 grams onions, 100 grams carrot, 12 grams garlic, and 12 grams ginger into a pan and then stir in ¼ teaspoon baking soda.
- Put the pan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it starts to boil, stir the mixture continuously until the excess liquid has evaporated and the mixture forms a thick paste (~8 minutes).
- Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and turn down the heat to medium. Saute the paste until it's golden brown and shiny (~1-2 minutes).
- Add 2 tablespoons curry powder and 1 teaspoon cocoa powder and quickly stir it in, being careful not to burn the spices (~30 seconds).
- Add 450 grams ground beef and use the side of a spatula to break up the clumps of meat and work it into the curry paste (~4 minutes).
- Once the beef is cooked and crumbly, add 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons ketchup, and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir-fry the mixture until the seasonings are well combined, and most of the liquid has evaporated (~1 minute).
- Serve the Keema Curry with rice, and you can top it with 3 eggs cooked in your favorite style (hot spring, or sunny side up).
