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.
02 Step
Recipe View Step 2: Build the Curry Base (7 minutes) - Pour in the diced tomatoes, stirring to combine. Add the chili powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, and salt. 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. Continue cooking until the beef is no longer pink, about 7 minutes.
03 Step
Recipe View Step 3: Simmer to Perfection (15 minutes) - Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the curry simmer gently for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen.
04 Step
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.
