Ingredients

2-4 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup onion, diced

2 tablespoons fresh ginger, sliced and diced

3 garlic cloves

2 jalapeños

1 and 1/2 pounds ground beef

1 tablespoon ground turmeric

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon curry powder

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

In a large sauté pan, heat the oil and then add the onion, ginger, garlic (if using a garlic-ginger paste add it here) and jalapeños . Cook until translucent.

Add the beef then top with all of the ground spices.

Mix to combine all of the spices into the meat.

Let the meat cook, covered, over medium heat for about 25 minutes.

Remove the cover and drain off excess fat and oil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for an additional ten minutes. Keep an eye on the dish to make sure it doesn’t dry out in any way.
