Easy Keema Curry features ground beef seasoned with garlic, fresh ginger, curry, garam masala, and turmeric. Simmer with tomato paste, fire roasted tomatoes and coconut milk to build a bold, rich sauce. Stir in roasted potatoes, peas, and chopped cilantro at the end to create a hearty beef curry dish that's the pinnacle of easy comfort food with complex flavor!
Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss the potatoes with olive oil and spread onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast 25-30 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until tender and golden brown.
Heat a dutch oven over medium high heat. Add the ground beef and onion and cook, stirring frequently to break up the beef into smaller pieces. Cook until the ground beef is no longer pink and the onion is translucent, 6-7 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic. Sautee, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes, until very fragrant.
Add the salt, pepper, curry powder, garam masala, turmeric, and tomato paste. Stir until the the tomato paste is worked into the beef, and the spices are fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and coconut milk and give everything a good stir. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the curry thickens and the color turns a deep golden orange, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the frozen baby peas and roasted potatoes. Simmer until the peas are warmed through, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the cilantro.
Ladle into serving bowls over your base of choice (rice, naan or other, see post notes), sprinkle with lime juice and more fresh cilantro, and serve immediately.
