Before you start cooking, mix all your spices in a small bowl, including cumin seeds, coriander, turmeric, and more. This ensures the flavors combine beautifully and saves you time during cooking.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for a few seconds. Then toss in the chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent. Don’t rush this step; caramelized onions provide depth to the dish. Add garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).

Now add the ground beef, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink. Stir occasionally to ensure it cooks evenly.

Once the beef is cooked, toss in the chopped tomatoes and your pre-prepared spice mix. Stir everything together and cook for 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes break down and coat the meat in a flavorful sauce.

Add frozen peas, diced carrots, and optional bell peppers. Mix everything well. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Allow it to simmer for 15-20 minutes. This is where the magic happens as the spices meld together.

Before serving, check for seasoning and add salt or chili powder as needed. Garnish generously with fresh cilantro, and your Ground Beef Curry is ready to enjoy!
