Keema Matar is a traditional Pakistani dish with ground meat and peas dry-style gravy.
This curry dish is growing with flavor but is incredibly simple to prepare. You may substitute minced lamb or beef meat for this dish.

 5 ½ lbs lamb minced meat
 5 ½ cups green peas
 1 medium onion, chopped
 2 cloves garlic, minced
 ¼ tsp turmeric powder
 1 tsp ground cumin
 1-inch ginger, minced
 ½ tsp ground black pepper
 7 whole black peppercorns
 ½ tsp ground coriander
 1 tsp chili or paprika powder
 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
 ¼ cup cooking oil
1

Add the minced meat to a cooking pot, chopped onions, garlic, ginger paste, chopped tomatoes, and spices. Merge and stir thoroughly. Cook over medium heat, covered. And continue mixing from time to time.

2

After a while, you will notice that the mixture contains juices from the meat and vegetables. Then incorporate your green peas. Re-stir well and continue cooking with the lid on. Continue cooking and stirring until almost all the liquid has evaporated.

3

When the water evaporates, the meat remains juicy; add the cooking oil, and stir well. Take the lid back and cook more for 10 minutes.

In the serving dish, place the meal, and decorate with coriander leaves.
