Step by step process

Base

  1. 1

    Start the Keema Matar with the base. Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and fry for 8 to 10 minutes until golden. Stir in the crushed garlic and grated ginger and fry for 2 minutes until fragrant.

Spices and tomatoes

  1. 2

    Stir in the turmeric, ground paprika, ground cumin and coriander. Fry for 30 seconds until the spices release their aroma. Add the tomato paste and canned peeled tomatoes and crush them with a spoon. Simmer for 4 to 5 minutes until the sauce reduces.

Ground lamb

  1. 3

    Add the ground lamb and increase the heat to medium-high. Fry for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until the meat browns evenly and releases its juices. The meat should break up into small crumbles. Do not rush it.

Peas and finish

  1. 4

    Add the peas and garam masala and stir to combine. Reduce the heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until the peas are tender. Season with salt to taste. Garnish with a handful of fresh coriander and serve warm with chapati or cooked basmati rice.

More tips:

Toast the spices briefly in the fat before adding the tomatoes, it deepens their aroma and the sauce.

For a spicier version, add a chopped green chilli to the base with the other spices.
