Servings: persons

400 grams ground meat
1/2 cup shelled peas (frozen is fine)
1 cup chopped onions
3 pods cardamom
a small pieces cinnamon
1 and 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons cumin powder
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon hot paprika/cayenne (optional)
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
2 teaspoons oil

1
Heat oil in a saute pan over medium high heat.
2
Crack cardamom and cinnamon in a mortar and pestle and add to oil.
3
Fry till fragrant. Add the onions and fry till lightly browned.
4
Make a slurry of the spice powders and add along with the tomato paste.
5
Lower heat and saute until oil separates or alternately, the mixture comes together in a kind of lump and gets a shiny surface. Regardless of how weird that sounds or looks, do not cut short this step as this is central to the flavor. Add a spoon of oil if things start to stick to the bottom.
6
Add the meat and mix well. Stir fry until the meat is brown. Add the peas, salt and half a cup of water. Saute on low heat until the meat is cooked through and everything is thoroughly mixed up. Give it about five minutes for the flavors to marry. Remove from heat.
7
This is a great make-ahead dish. Simply heat up in the microwave or add a splash of water and gently reheat on the stove-top.
