[gamergirl 4,610]

Just posted a new recipe with pictures on my blog: http://sleevers.wordpress.com/2013/09/15/ground-beef-with-coconut-milk-and-spinach/

Yet another lazy ground beef curry. It’s my typical “dump everything into one pot and cook” type of recipe. I made it in a pressure cooker but will provide directions for stove-top as well.

Ingredients

Tempering Ingredients:

1-2 tsp ghee, coconut oil or fat of choice

1 tsp cumin seeds

2-in piece of cinnamon

4 whole black peppercorns

2-3 whole cloves

2-3 green cardomom pods

Main dish

3 cloves garlic crushed

2-in piece of ginger chopped fine

1 large onion diced

1 lb ground meat of your choice ( I used ground beef)

1 can coconut milk

8 oz chopped baby spinach

2 tsp madras curry powder or store-bought curry powder (I will post recipe shortly)

1 tsp turmeric

1/2 tsp red cayenne pepper

2 tsp salt or less to taste

Method

1. Heat ghee in pressure cooker until smoking lightly

2. Put in all the tempering ingredients and let them sizzle until you can smell the spices roasting, about 30 seconds

3. Add garlic and ginger and let them sizzle and flavor the oil.

4. Add remaining ingredients.

5. Set pressure cooker timer to high for 10 minutes.

6. Release pressure normally.

7. You may choose to add more spinach at the end.

If cooking stovetop:

1. Heat ghee in sauce pan until smoking lightly

2. Put in all the tempering ingredients and let them sizzle until you can smell the spices roasting, about 30 seconds

3. Add garlic and ginger and let them sizzle and flavor the oil.

4. Add the onions and cook until soft.

5. Add remaining ingredients.

6. Cook on medium-low until the meat is cooked through, and the spinach wilts.

7. You may choose to add more spinach at the end.
