A flavorful Pakistani curry combining ground beef and potatoes, seasoned with aromatic spices and herbs.

Ingredients

Meat and Vegetables

  • 500 g ground beef (lean or full-fat)
  • 1 piece onion (finely diced)
  • 3 pieces tomatoes (sliced)
  • 2 small potatoes (cut in 2 cm cubes)

Instructions 

  • Heat oil in a pan, sauté onions until light golden, then add water to prevent browning.
  • Add spices (black cardamom, cloves, peppercorns), then tomatoes, ginger, garlic, salt, chili, turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Cover and cook until tomatoes break down.
  • Add ground beef, cook until browned, then pour water, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until fully cooked.
  • Uncover, fry on high heat to dry excess moisture, then add potatoes and water. Cover and cook until potatoes are tender.
  • Add garam masala, green chilies, coriander, and sliced ginger. Cover briefly, then turn off heat and serve with bread or rice.

Notes

For a drier curry, cook longer to reduce moisture; for a moist curry, add extra water.
