Beef Keema - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, chopped
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
2 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 lb potato, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 cup plain yogurt
3/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cup peas
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Preparation

In a large deep frying pan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the onion and cook until starting to soften, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook 1 minute longer. Add the beef and cook until no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Drain off any fat.
Add the coriander, cumin, pepper, turmeric, cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of the salt to the pan. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the potatoes, yogurt and milk.
Bring just to a boil. Cover the pan. Reduce heat to a simmer and simmer for 20 minutes. Uncover the pan and simmer for 5 minutes longer.
Stir in the peas and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Simmer until the peas are just done, about 2 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and cilantro and serve.
