Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lb lean ground beef or venison
  • 2 tablespoon mild curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon garam masala
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3/4 teaspoon tumeric
  • 3/4 teaspoon fennugreek
  • 1 quart sized jar of diced tomatoes or a 32 oz can
  • 2 cups frozen peas

Instructions

  • In a large skillet melt the butter over medium heat. When melted add onion and saute until translucent and softened.
  • Add the garlic and stir for just a minute before adding the ground beef or venison. Break up and cook thoroughly.
  • While the meat is cooking, add the spices. When the meat is fully cooked add the tomatoes and stir together.
  • Bring to a boil and simmer for about 25 minutes. In the final few minutes of cooking add the peas so they can just thaw and cook before serving.
  • Serve over rice or potatoes.
