Aloo Keema  (Potatoes, ground beef)- medium sized pot - 5-7 quart size will do
Ingredients-
 
•	1/4 cup vegetable oil or Canola oil or corn oil (will be used to fry the onions in)
•	1 big onion chopped/diced
•	2 peeled tomatoes- diced
•	1/2 can of plain tomato paste (small can)
•	1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
•	1 tsp Garam Masala (easily available at any Indian grocery store), in a can or packets
•	1/2 tsp cumin power or whole seed cumin
•	1/2 tsp turmeric
•	1 tsp salt
•	1/2 tsp black pepper
•	1/2 tsp ginger and 1/2 tsp of garlic chopped (can get paste of mix of both at any Indian store)
•	1 Jalapeno pepper diced or sliced small pieces (not needed but adds little flavor and heat)
•	1 lb ground beef
•	Potatoes- gold, red or russet (4 medium sized or 3 large)-  chopped into 1 inch or bigger
•	Green beans (totally optional) - can use frozen chopped.
•	1 cup water
•	Cilantro (no measurement for this, just take leaves off of 5-8 branches) save
for very end to drop in pot once everything is cooked  [I skipped this, family doesn't like Cilantro]
 
Cooking process-
1.	Add 1/4 cup cooking oil & heat on medium to high heat
2.	Drop in diced big onion & brown till almost charred
3.	Drop in peeled tomatoes & all the spices (cayenne pepper, garam masala, cumin power, salt,
black pepper, ginger/garlic paste or diced, jalapeno peppers,turmeric)
4.	Cook/stir for 5-7 minutes
5.	Drop in ground beef & cook for 10-12 min till fully brown
6.	Drop in chopped potatoes, tomato paste & green beans, (optional)- stir good
7.	Drop in cup of water & lower heat to LOW & cover pot with lid
8.	Let cook for 20-30 min (test if potatoes are cooked, poke with knife)
9.	If potatoes feel soft (not very soft) it is done
10.	Add chopped Cilantro at the end and cover for 5 minutes [I skipped this, family doesn't like Cilantro]
11.	DONE
 
Can eat with pita, or any kind of bread or Basmati rice goes really well with it.
RICE- if basmati then just add bunch of water in pot and cook 1 cup or rice, bring to boil and
drain water after rice is little soft (10 min)- all done.





I needed more water added. Recommendation is to keep the heat really low to avoid it reducing too much.
