01 Step

Recipe View Step 1: Bloom the Spices (5 minutes) - In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt the ghee over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds and cook until they begin to crackle and release their fragrance, about 1 minute. Stir in the chopped onion, jalapeño (if using), curry powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, and bay leaves. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 4 minutes.

Stir thoroughly to incorporate the spices into the tomato mixture. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula as it cooks.

Recipe View Step 4: Finishing Touches (10 minutes) - Add the frozen peas to the skillet, cover, and simmer until they are heated through, about 10 minutes. If you prefer a thicker consistency, remove the lid, increase the heat to medium, and simmer the curry uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced to your desired thickness.

For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with lentils or crumbled paneer.
Adjust the amount of jalapeño and chili powder to suit your preferred level of spiciness.
Serve Keema Matar hot with basmati rice, naan bread, or roti for a complete and satisfying meal.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or a dollop of yogurt for added flavor and visual appeal.
