Lamb Keema with Potatoes and Peas

Ground lamb gets an Indian spin in this easy one-pot meal. It's great when served with a few pieces of warmed naan.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 small serrano chile, minced

  • About 1 tsp. salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala

  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground lamb

  • 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed

  • 3/4 cup plain yogurt

  • 3/4 cup whole milk

  • 3/4 cup frozen peas

  • Hot cooked rice

  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Preparation

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 minutes. Add garlic, chile, 1 tsp. salt, and the spices; cook 2 minutes longer. Stir in tomato paste.

  2. Add lamb and cook, breaking up large chunks of meat, until no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Add potatoes, yogurt, and milk to pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat until mixture is simmering vigorously, cover, and cook 10 minutes.

  3. Stir in peas and cook 5 minutes longer, until peas are cooked through and mixture has thickened. Serve over rice with cilantro sprinkled on each serving. Add more salt to taste if you like.
