Gather @potato{300%g}, @tomato{3}, @fresh ginger{20%g}, @ground cumin{2%tsp} and @green pea{100%g}.

Dice the @onion{2}, mince the ginger and @garlic{4%clove}, and chop the tomatoes so everything is ready to go in fast.

Set the pot over medium-high heat and fry the onion until soft and golden. ~{5%minutes}

Stir in the ginger and garlic and cook until fragrant, then add the @ground beef{500%g}.

Fry the beef, breaking it up with the spoon, until it 'bhuns' — the moisture cooks away and the meat starts to sizzle and re-fry in its own fat.

Add the tomatoes and cumin; cook down, stirring occasionally, until the masala thickens and turns a deep red.

Add the potatoes, peas and a splash of water; cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. ~{15%minutes}

Stir in the @garam masala{1%tsp} off the heat so its aroma stays bright, then serve hot with roti and raita.
