Description

This North Indian Moghul Beef Kheema Curry is a comforting and robust main dish that balances tender ground beef with the sweetness of fresh corn. The flavor profile is built on a foundation of toasted whole spices like cumin, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom, creating a deep, aromatic base. The addition of yogurt and ground almonds lends a subtle creaminess and richness to the sauce without overwhelming the heat from cayenne and paprika. It is an ideal weeknight dinner that feels special enough for guests, offering a hearty texture and warm, savory notes. Serve it hot with toasted pita or French bread to soak up the flavorful gravy.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add cumin seeds, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom pods; stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add chopped onion, garlic, ginger, and turmeric; cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
  4. Add lean ground beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a fork, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes.
  5. Add chopped tomato, ground cumin, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, paprika, and salt; stir and cook for 2 minutes.
  6. Add water, yogurt, and almond paste (ground almonds mixed with water); bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  7. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the mixture thickens and flavors mellow, about 45 minutes.
  8. Skim off excess fat from the surface.
  9. Stir in garam masala, fresh corn kernels, and chopped cilantro; heat through and serve.
