Aromatic Beef Keema with Fresh Herbs

1. Caramelize Onions

Begin by heating oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and caramelized, about 25-30 minutes. Set aside.

2. Blend Aromatics

While onions caramelize, combine garlic, ginger, and green chile in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped.

3. Process Tomato Mixture

Add the quartered tomatoes and cooked onions with any remaining oil to the food processor. Process until the mixture is finely chopped.

4. Cook Meat Mixture

Transfer the aromatic mixture back to the skillet and simmer over medium-low heat. Add ground beef to the skillet. Season with chile powder and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Cook, stirring to break up clumps, until the liquid evaporates and fat surfaces, about 30 minutes.

5. Final Touches

Adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed. Stir in half of the cilantro and mint. Sprinkle with garam masala and garnish with the remaining herbs before serving.
