Kheema Matar (Beef and Pea Curry)

I have not made this recipe, but the chef Aarti S suggested adding 2 tsp of malted vinegar (or apple cider vinegar) at the end of cooking to expose the flavors

Made exactly as described and my family gobbled it up. Delicious. Not hard to make, quick prep.

We just put in 2 serving of ground cumin instead of cumin seeds. It was very quick and easy to make, and tasted simply delicious! It was just a little bit spicy for the young ones in my family- you might want to leave the peppers out.

My picky hubby who is not a lover of spices loved this. I'm definitely going to make it again, some time soon.

It’s good, it just needed a lot more salt than the recipe called for. Other than that, pretty easy and my family loved it. We served it with small flour tortillas and made wraps... an Indian family I know does it this way but they use Roti (Indian flatbread similar to flour tortilla but to me, a little less tasty).

Other than adding a can or corn because I didn’t have enough peas, I made this as per the recipe.

This recipe turned out fantastic. I am always looking for something different to do with ground beef beyond the basic burgers, pasta and meatballs and this kheema certainly fit the bill. I made it at 1 1/2 times the recipe to serve 6. I had to make some changes. I didn't have cumin seeds, so I just increased the ground cumin to 2 tsp. I didn't have enough peas, so I added in some peas and carrots. But despite these minor changes, it still turned out delicious. I served it with basmati rice and chapati. It got the stamp of approval from the whole family. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing the recipe with us!

I made this as written except that I used ground lamb instead of beef. It was quick, simple and delicious. I paired it with Indian-Style Rice with Cashews, Raisins and Turmeric. Both were delicious! I am adding this to my regular rotation, but I'll use beef or bison as well as lamb in the future.

Yummy. Will definitely make again!

My husband and I liked this a lot. I used 90%lean ground beef, and added a red bell pepper instead of jalapeño. I did not add peas, and served it over basmati rice. I thought the spices were just about right, but I added some mustard seed in place of whole cumin seed (because I had none). Plus some Jugo (Maggi) seasoning at the end.

It was the best. Family loved it. My son-in-law made a point to tell me he liked it especially. Great recipe.

My family and I love this recipe! I serve it over couscous with naan. There are never any leftovers!

Yummy, easy dish! I made a mild version and left out the jalapeños and chili powder so my kids would eat it. All four of my kids ate this well, even my 18 month old! In the future, I will add more salt and more curry powder to substitute the lack of heat when making for my family. I served this with jasmine rice and a side of sweetened plain yogurt to mix in.

Very good!

- more salt and spices (although too much spice and it has a nutty bitterness) - added mushrooms

I thought this was great, my husband didn't like it as much as I did. He found it a little bland. Could have used a little more of a kick as I think one jalapeno gets lost. Next time, I will keep it on the stove for a few hours to let the spices meld. This recipe does not allow for enough time for them to fully absorb. I scramble fried the beef separately, drained and then added to the liquid as I couldn't bring myself to consume the fat it would render in the dish. I will make this again. Thanks This One Woman.

Great meal! Used jalapeño pepper and olive oil instead of ghee. Great with basmati rice and naan.
