How to make?
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
1-inch piece fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic
1 bunch green onions
1 pound 85% lean ground beef
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 teaspoon ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes
2 medium carrots
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup water
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Directions
Select the Sauté setting on the Instant Pot and heat the oil and cumin seeds for about 2 minutes, until the seeds are bubbling and fragrant. Add the ginger, garlic, and green onions and saute until the onions are beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef, salt, garam masala, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne, and sauté until cooked through, breaking up the meat with a spatula as it cooks, about 6 minutes. Add the potatoes, carrots, peas, and water and stir to combine. Add the tomato paste in a dollop on top -- do not stir it in. Secure the lid in the Sealing position. Press Cancel to reset the cooking program, then select the Pressure Cook or Manual setting and set the cooking time for 2 minutes at high pressure. When the cooking program ends, perform a quick release by moving the Pressure Release to Venting, or let the pressure release naturally. Open the pot and give everything a good stir to incorporate the tomato paste.
Press Cancel to reset the cooking program once more, then select the Sauté setting and let the dish simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Press Cancel one last time to turn off the pot. Serve hot, over rice.
