Pakistani Kima - beef curry

The husband and I love ethnic foods.  Especially Indian.  I've never cooked Pakistani food before, so this was a first for me.  Boy was it delicious!  Full of flavor and very hearty for a cold evening, like we had here last week.  The only change I'd make is to double the curry powder.  But our curry is a bit old, so maybe it's lost flavor over the months?  Otherwise, I wouldn't change a thing!


Ingredients

• 2 – 3 Tbsp oil
• 1 cup chopped onion 
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 lb ground beef 
• 1 1/2 Tbsp curry powder 
• 2 1/4 tsp salt 
• 1/8 tsp pepper
• 1/8 tsp cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp ginger
• 1/8 tsp turmeric
• 2 1/2 – 3 cups tomatoes (about 1 1/2 14 oz cans)
• 3 potatoes
• 2 1/2 – 3 cups peas

Directions

1.  Melt oil or butter in a large pan.

2.  Add onion and garlic.

3.  Cook until onion softens and garlic begins to brown (watch it carefully – garlic burns easily!)

4.  Add meat and cook thoroughly.

5.  Add curry, salt and spices.  Stir well.

6.  Dice potatoes into 1/2 inch chunks.

7.  Add potatoes, tomatoes and peas to the pan.

8.  Bring to a simmering boil.  Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 25 minutes, or until potatoes are done.
