Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Wooden spoon
  • chef knife
  • grater or zester
  • measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon coconut oil or avocado oil
  • 2 large yellow potatoes or white potatoes, about 1 pound
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large yellow onion peeled and diced
  • 1 Tablespoon ginger or ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic minced, or ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons curry powder mild or hot
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground turmeric or 4 ½ teaspoons grated fresh turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon cumin or ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 ½ cups beef broth or chicken broth
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • 1 cup green peas fresh or frozen
  • cilantro, lime juice, rice for serving

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.
  • Add the onions and cook until translucent and just beginning to brown.
  • Add the potatoes, garlic, and ginger. Allow to cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
  • Add the ground meat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until the meat is cooked through.
  • Next, add the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, black pepper, and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Make a slurry, mixing broth with one tablespoon of cornstarch or arrowroot powder.
  • Add all the liquid to the beef mixture and bring to a boil. Simmer for a few minutes until the entire mixture has thickened.
  • Add peas. Simmer, covered, for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve over rice with a sprinkling of cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
