Introduction
This is a fairly standard kheema matar recipe, but I decided to throw in some mushrooms for extra body and a slight boost to the vitamins and minerals. If you're wondering: Kheema: ground meat; matar: green peas. The yogurt - sour is better, but any plain, non-flavoured yogurt will do. Adjust the spicing to your own preferences.

Ingredients
-
1 lb. extra lean ground beef
2 mediium onions, finely chopped
8 medium sized cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
1.5 cups frozen green peas
.5 tsp salt
.5 tbsp cayenne (optional)
A dash of powdered turmeric
1 tsp powdered cumin seed
3 tsp garam masala (kheema masala, if you can find it!)
.5 cup plain yogurt (NOT vanilla flavoured - PLAIN!)
3 tbsp vegetable oil
Directions
- Heat the oil in a frying pan on high heat
- saute the finely chopped onions until they go golden brown
- reduce the heat to medium, add the mushrooms and saute for a minute or two
- add the ground beef and saute until it's no longer pink
- stir in the spices and cook for a minute or two
- stir in the yogurt, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for a few minutes until the mixture goes dark brown.
Note that this will get tastier the longer it sits, so making a big batch like this is NOT a bad idea. :) Also, yes, this is not a curry with a lot of sauce, it's more of a dry curry.
Serve hot with rice and dal and a veggie dish to balance out the meal.
Makes about 10 1/2 cup servings.
