Ingredients for Aloo Keema Potato And Mince Curry

  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • Beef
  • Gingerroot
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Chili Powder
  • Coriander Powder
  • Turmeric Powder
  • Salt
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • Tomatoes
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • Green Chilies
  • Coriander Leaves

How to Make Aloo Keema Potato And Mince Curry

  1. Heat the oil in a heavy-based pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened but not browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the ground meat, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pan. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until all the moisture has evaporated.
  3. Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and 1/4 tsp garam masala. Add 3 tablespoons of water and cook, stirring constantly, for another 2 minutes.
  4. Add the chopped tomatoes and yogurt. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce has slightly thickened.
  5. Add the cubed potatoes, mix well to coat them with the sauce.
  6. Pour in 1 cup of water, bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  7. Stir in the remaining 1 tsp garam masala, green chilies (if using), and fresh coriander just before serving.
  8. Mix well and serve hot with naan, chapati, or rice.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
