How to Make Ground Meat Kimba

  1. Finely chop 1 large onion and 2 cloves of garlic. (Prep time drastically reduced by using a food processor if available)
  2. In a large skillet or pot, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 tbsp ginger paste, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional). Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, and 1/2 cup chopped cilantro. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot over cooked brown rice or mashed potatoes. A drizzle of your favorite hot sauce is a great addition!
  8. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
