  • Ginger-Garlic Paste
  • Canned Crushed Tomatoes
  • Cumin Powder
  • Coriander Powder
  • Turmeric Powder
  • Red Chili Powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Finely chop onions, mince ginger and garlic, dice potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes, and measure out spices.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Whole Spices: Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add bay leaf, cinnamon stick, and green cardamom pods. Sizzle for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add finely chopped onions and cook until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Add Ginger-Garlic Paste: Stir in ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until raw aroma disappears.
  4. Brown the Ground Beef: Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  5. Introduce the Powdered Spices: Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  6. Add Tomatoes and Cook the Masala: Pour in crushed tomatoes, stir, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover partially and cook for 8-10 minutes until oil separates from the masala.
  7. Add Potatoes and Simmer: Stir in diced potatoes and coat with masala. Add 1 to 1½ cups of water or beef broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
  8. Finish and Garnish: Stir in garam masala and slit green chilies, cooking for another minute. Remove from heat and stir in fresh chopped coriander.
  9. Taste and Adjust: Taste the Aloo Keema and adjust salt or chili powder if needed. A squeeze of lemon juice can enhance flavors.

Nutrition

Keywords: Browning the onions properly is crucial for flavor. Ensure spices are cooked thoroughly to bloom their aroma. Adjust spice levels to your preference, and let the dish rest before serving for enhanced flavor.
