Since I published my recipe for Keema pies, it has been super popular and has left lots of you asking for more Keema Curry recipes. So I have this traditional Keema Matar (minced meat and pea) curry recipe for you to enjoy.
This Keema Curry is so easy to prepare and is perfect for a mid-week meal as it really is on the table in less than 30 minutes. Serve with basmati rice, naan bread or even my Bombay Potatoes. It is perfect to wrap in pastry to make curry pasties, or add some potatoes and wrap in filo pastry for quick meat samosas! The possibilities are endless.
Ingredients
450g minced lamb
2 onions finely sliced
2 bay leaves
4 curry leaves
1 tsp crushed garlic
1 tsp grated ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp of chilli powder
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp curry powder
100 grams of frozen peas
400ml water
Method
Heat a couple of tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan along with the bay leaves, cloves and cinnamon.
When the spices start to sizzle, add the onion garlic and ginger and fry over a medium heat for a few minutes until the onions have turned translucent.
Add the mince and fry until browned stirring continuously to break down the meat.
Add the remaining spices to the frying pan, stir and fry for a further 5-6 minutes.
Add the water and frozen peas and return to the boil.
Allow the curry to simmer away for 5 – 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides and enjoy.
