Ingredients
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 pound lean ground beef
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeño, minced
1 tablespoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons garam masala
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
28 ounces diced tomatoes (do not drain)
3 russet potatoes, peeled and diced (½-inch cubes)
1 cup frozen green peas
Instructions
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat and add the chopped onion. Cook for 6–8 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in coriander, garam masala, cumin, salt, turmeric, ginger, and cayenne. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, for 6–8 minutes until fully cooked.
Stir in the garlic and jalapeño and cook for 1 minute.
Add the diced tomatoes with their juices and the potatoes. Stir well.
Bring to a simmer and cook for 10–12 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
Stir in frozen peas, cook briefly to heat through, and serve warm.
