Ground Beef and Potato Fry

This dry curried dish is made with ground beef or lamb. The potatoes are optional and can be replaced by a cup of peas. Ground beef made its way into kitchens in Kerala quite recently, so this is a fairly new addition to the Syrian Christian kitchen. This dish can be served with rice or pathiri, or on toast as a snack.

Ingredients
1/2 cup oil
2  large potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1  large onion, chopped
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
8 cloves garlic
2  tomatoes, chopped
3 tablespoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 pound ground beef
4 cups water
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander leaves (cilantro)
Directions

In the same oil, fry the onion, ginger, and garlic for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, and fry for 2 more minutes. Add the coriander, chili powder, turmeric, pepper, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom, and fry over low heat until the oil rises to the top.
