Keema (minced meat curry)

Ingredients:
200 g minced meat
frozen green peas (thawed)
1 or 2 finely chopped (red) onions
garlic, finely chopped
ginger, finely chopped (optional)
garam massala (curry mix)
pinch of cinnamon powder (or cinnamon stick, crushed)
turmeric powder
coconut milk (or yoghurt)
1 tomato / bit of tomato puree (optional)
cashew nuts (optional)

Directions:
Fry the garlic, onions, ginger lightly in oil till onions glazed.
Add the minced meat, fry the meat till it turns light brown.
Add the spices (curry, cinnamon, turmeric) and mix well with the meat mixture.
Add coconut (or yoghurt) to the mixture and mix well till sauce gets the correct thickness, add a bit of water for more gravy. Add tomato for flavour and texture (optional).
Add the green peas and cashews.

Serve with naan bread or chappatti (but also nice as a side dish with rice).

It is easy to make your own varities of this recipe, e.g. use only cashews and green peas for a vegetarian version, or add some curry leaves.
