Equipment

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Onion finely chopped
  • 2 Garlic Cloves finely chopped
  • 2 cm Fresh Ginger peeled and grated
  • 4 tablespoon Curry Paste I use Korma
  • 500 g Lean Minced Beef
  • 150 g Frozen Peas
  • 400 ml Passata or use a tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoon Mango Chutney
  • Salt and Pepper

    1 tablespoon Olive Oil, 1 Onion, 2 Garlic Cloves, 2 cm Fresh Ginger, 4 tablespoon Curry Paste
  • Turn the heat up and add the minced beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook until the beef turns from pink to brown.
    500 g Lean Minced Beef
  • Add the peas, passata and mango chutney, turn the heat down to medium, and simmer for 10 minutes. Season to taste.
    150 g Frozen Peas, 400 ml Passata, 3 tablespoon Mango Chutney, Salt and Pepper
  • Serve with rice and naan bread.

Notes

Variations:
  • Substitute the minced beef with a vegetarian alternative such as soy mince or lentils. This is a great option for vegetarians or those looking to reduce their meat intake.
  • Swap out the minced beef for minced chicken, minced lamb, or minced turkey to create a lighter version of the dish. 
  • Make it creamy and add 200ml of coconut milk and reduce the passata to 150ml.
  • Adjust the spice level if you like things hot! Add 1 chopped fresh red chilli or two teaspoons of red chili powder with the onion and garlic, and use a hot curry paste or curry powder like madras.
  • Add some vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, or peppers to the Keema curry to make it a more balanced meal.
  • Garnish with chopped coriander of mint leaves.
