This Instant Pot Keema Curry recipe is in the style of Pakistani ground beef curry. This delicious comfort food meal is always a family favorite at the dinner table.
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1/2 tablespoon ground coriander
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin powder
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 medium carrot thinly sliced
- 2 medium potatoes or 10 mini potatoes, diced
- 1/2 head cauliflower cut into florets
- 14.5 oz can crushed tomatoes
Instructions
-
Press the ‘Sauté’ button on your pressure cooker. Once it has preheated enough the display will indicate “HOT”.
-
Add the oil and onion. Sauté until the onion starts to turn translucent. Add garlic and sauté another minute.
-
Now add the ground beef and start breaking it up into small pieces. Add all seasonings (salt, pepper, curry powder, coriander, cumin, turmeric, chili flakes, and cinnamon). Stir everything together and continue browning the beef (about 5 minutes).
-
Once the beef is browned press “cancel” to stop the sauté function. Pour in the water and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
-
Stir in sliced carrot, potato dices, and cauliflower florets.
-
Pour the crushed tomatoes over top but DO NOT STIR. (Tomato touching the bottom of the Instant Pot often produces the dreaded BURN notice.)
-
Close the lid and turn pressure valve to sealing position. Cook on High Pressure for 5 minutes.
-
The pot will take about 15 minutes to pressurize before the timer starts counting down. Once cooking time is up turn the pressure valve to venting to quick release the pressure.
-
Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley or cilantro on top to your liking. Serve this ground beef curry over steamed rice or quinoa.
