Aloo Keema is one of my favorite curry. I usually make this at home so many times, easy, quick and delicious recipe. Here’s a recipe for an authentic, homestyle, Pakistani style Aloo Keema (Keema Curry with potatoes). This is a traditional, one-pot recipe that’s simple, easy-to make, and gives the most flavorful results!

Ingredients:

• 1 2-inch cinnamon stick
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 3 whole cloves
• 1/2 tsp coriander seeds, optional
• ½ tsp whole black peppercorns
• 1/3 cup Oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 5-6 cloves (~1 tbsp) garlic, crushed
• 1 inch (~1 tbsp) piece ginger, crushed
• 1 lb (454 g) ground beef, lean and full-fat both work, though lean is a bit more dry.
• 1 large tomato (or 2 small), finely chopped
• 1-2 Serrano or Thai chili peppers, sliced
• 2 tsp coriander powder
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 3/4 tsp turmeric powder
• 1/4 tsp red chili powder, or to taste
• 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt, or to taste
• 2 tbsp plain, whole milk yogurt
• 1 medium to large (~250 g) russet potato, peeled and cubed into 1/2″ cubes
• Garnishing
• 1/8 to 1/4 tsp garam masala, optional
• 1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 tbsp cilantro leaves, chopped

Method:

• Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the oil, whole spices, and onions and sauté until the onions are golden brown (~8-10 min). Deglaze the pan with 2 tbsp of water.
• Once the water dries up, add the garlic and ginger and sauté for a minute. Add ground beef and cook, stirring often, until it changes color and the moisture dries up (~4-5 min). Use a wooden spatula to break up the beef into small pieces to ensure no lumps.
• Add the tomatoes, green chili peppers, ground spices, salt, and yogurt and continue to sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until the tomatoes break down and the oil starts to separate from the ground beef. Add the potatoes and 1/4 cup water and stir to combine.
• Lower the heat to low-medium. Cover, and allow it to cook for 23-25 minutes (depending on the thickness of the potato cubes), stirring once in between. The potatoes will be very tender.
• If needed, turn the heat to high and sauté out any extra moisture. Turn off the heat and add the garam masala (if using), lemon juice, and cilantro. Give it a quick stir and serve hot with rice, roti, naan, bread, or anything else you’d like.
