Ingredients
- ½ cup oil
- 5 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1.25 cup tomato (chopped)
- 1.5 cup stock
- 2 medium potatoes (diced)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin seed
- 2 pcs jalapenos (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- ½ cup green peas
- 1 teaspoon salt and ground black pepper (for seasoning)
Instructions
- Using a large skillet over medium-high heat, pour and heat vegetable oil.
- Once the oil is ready add the cumin, garlic and onion and cook until they have softened.
- Next, add the potatoes and ground beef.
- Mix and cook until the ground meat is no longer pink.
- Now add the chopped tomatoes, salt, pepper, jalapenos, seasoning, chili powder, peas and stock.
- Mix, cover with a lid, and bring to a boil.
- Adjust the heat to medium-low and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes.
- Continue simmering your Picadillo until the vegetables are cooked.
- Uncover, taste, and adjust seasoning
- Mix, turn the heat back to medium, cover, and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Take the pan off the heat and transfer it into serving plates.
- Serve and enjoy your Karahi Keema!
Notes
- Make sure the onions are finely chopped- the goal is for them to get to the caramelization stage faster, and then eventually almost disappear after the Keema is ready.
- Remember to use a good quality pan to make the Karahi Keema. A cast iron pan or any heavy-bottomed pan is ideal.
- You can use practically any kind of stock for the recipe- chicken stock, vegetable stock, mushroom stock, or even just water. Beef stock, however, offers the best depth of flavor and deliciousness.
