    Aloo Matar Keema (Potatoes, Peas, and Ground Beef Curry)

    Vaquas - I'm back with a new recipe it's Aloo matar Keema (Potatoes, Peas and Ground Beef Curry). This is a classic in every SouthAsian household. It's mainly originated in North India and spread through Pakistan. My mom used to cook this recipe at least once every few weeks. My mom made this Pakistani style curry. This falls under the category of comfort food, so therefore it is the ultimate comfort food in our household. Aloo Matar Keema is a curry that mixed in whole spices and seasonings along with tomatoes and yogurt.

    TWO CLOVES IN A POT EXPERT TIPS

      • Sauté the potatoes and peas beforehand and keep it aside.
      • Add yogurt and tomatoes.
      • Add whole spices (but you can get mortar & pestles and crush them if you aren't a big fan of whole spices.) 
      • Cook the beef well.

    CAN I COOK IN GROUND TURKEY, LAMB, OR CHICKEN?

    Frankly, I have not cooked in grounded turkey, lamb or chicken, but you're more than welcome to use any kind of grounded meat and also I would just decrease the water quantity if you're using grounded chicken just decrease the quantity of the water to ½ a cup for 1 pound.
