Recipe: Beef Keema (Indian Ground Beef Curry)

When I was searching for some different ways for cooking minced beef, I came across this recipe for beef keema. Beef keema is a dry Indian ground beef curry, most popular in North India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. 

For my version, I used a hot curry powder such as Madras as well as spices such as garam masala. Other than beef, you will also find chopped onions, ginger, garlic, potato, carrot and peas in this dry curry - making this a perfect one-pot meal!
