Curried Ground Beef and Peas
Keema matar, from the Indian subcontinent, is a simple, flavor-packed curry that can be on the table in minutes. We sauté a good amount of sliced shallots until caramelized at the edges to create a rich flavor base. Adding the beef at the end and cooking it gently prevents it from drying out and becoming tough and mealy. Serve with warm naan, basmati rice or potatoes.

Quick and easy keema matar
Easy recipe to cook, if serving with rice, starting the rice cooking at the same time as beginning to sear the shallots (for me) had everything finishing at the same time. Good taste, though potentially more garam masala or a little more heat would be a welcome addition.

Delicious and easy!
This was a hit with my family. The spices were subtle, but good. I may add a pinch of cayenne the next time to give it some extra heat.

Quick and easy
I made this recipe. It was delicious but I definitely think it could use more garam masala.

Ingredients'ish. . .
I am a subscriber, and see only two ingredients- oil and shallots. . . huh'ish?
This is a delicious easy dish. The yoghurt is necessary. I ate with pita (my naan stand in, because it was Tuesday after work and that's what I had). I made an error and grabbed the cumin and put in two teaspoons of that before realizing my error. I proceeded with the 4 teaspoons of garam masala. Just make it. This will definitely go into regular rotation.

This is a great recipe ... loved it! I substituted ground beef for sirloin strips and also added one thinly Serrano Chile! Delicious! Also I didn’t have shallots, so it substituted red onion.
