Indian spiced mince with peas - This easy to make Indian Spiced Mince and Peas is a delicious, budget and family friendly recipe and my next recipe to feature on JamieOliver.com.

I love Indian cuisine – I’d go so far to say it is my favourite kind of food. So I was especially thrilled to see a curry on Jamie Oliver’s list of ’10 recipes to save your life’. In case you hadn’t heard, as part of Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, I was one of 10 people selected world-wide to put my spin on 10 of Jamie’s favourite staple recipes.

I’ve shared quite a few of my favourite Indian style curries already here on the website (Quick and Easy Dhal, Simple Vegetable Curry and my very popular Chicken and Almond curry) so I thought for this part of the challenge I’d share this really quick, budget friendly family favourite – my Indian Spiced Mince and Peas.

Dinner won't get any more budget friendly, easier or tastier then my Indian Spiced Mince with Peas. This is one meal sure to go on regular rotation. Gluten, grain and dairy-free.

Ingredients

30 g butter, ghee or coconut oil (2 tbsp)
1 onion/s (large) chopped
2 clove/s garlic -chopped
4 cm ginger root -peeled and chopped
2 tsp ground coriander
½ tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp sea salt
Chilli flakes -to taste (optional)
500 g beef mince
4-5 roma tomatoe/s -roughly chopped
150 g peas (1 cup) fresh or frozen
¼ bunch fresh coriander leaves -to serve

Method

In a large frypan or wok, heat the butter, ghee or coconut oil and sauté the onion over a medium heat for a few minutes to soften.
Add the garlic, ginger and spices and fry, stirring well for about a minute.
Now add the mince and tomatoes and stir-fry until the mince is cooked.
Add the peas and cook for a minute or two. Stir through the coriander and serve immediately.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Tip

Other vegetables can be added to the mix when stir frying. Cut them small so they cook quickly with the mince.

Serve

With rice or cauliflower rice (pictured here).
I also serve with a leafy salad or steamed vegetables.
It's lovely with a dollop of natural yoghurt too.

Store

Leftovers are great for school lunches (in the thermos) or even wrapped in a fresh spring roll.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Can also be frozen.

Variations

Go ahead - it's a great base to add to.

Onion and Garlic-free

Replace the onions and garlic with and extra 2cm's of ginger.
