Bottle Masala Kheema Mattar

Ground Beef curry with peas and East Indian Bottle Masala

We take the classic kheema mattar and give it an East-Indian twist with some bottle masala. A simple and easy recipe that gets done in less than 20 minutes. I am using beef mince but this can be made with chicken mince or mutton kheema too.
