Name: Instant Pot Keema
Cuisine: Indian
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons ghee or oil; 1 onion (finely diced); 4 teaspoons minced garlic; 1 teaspoon minced ginger; 1 Serrano pepper or green chili (minced); 1 tablespoon coriander powder; 1 teaspoon paprika; 1 teaspoon salt; ½ teaspoon black pepper; ½ teaspoon ground cumin; ½ teaspoon garam masala; ½ teaspoon turmeric; ¼ teaspoon cayenne; ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom; 1 pound ground meat of choice; 1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes OR ½ cup onion masala*see notes; 2 cups fresh or frozen peas; Cilantro (garnish)

Instructions

Keema has been one of my favorite dishes since childhood. You can make this with any type of ground meat (beef, lamb and goat are my favorite choices). I typically eat this over rice but you can serve this with flatbread or even use it as a stuffing for samosas (Indian pastries) or parathas (Indian flatbread). I feel like this recipe as well as butter chicken are good “gateway” dishes to Indian cuisine because nearly everyone loves them!
