This is a classic of Cape Malay cookery that is both served by itself with rice or rotis, or is used as a filling for rotis.

Ingredients:

500g beef mince
2 tbsp oil
2 large onions, sliced
1 large tomato, finely grated
2 tsp fresh ginger, crushed
1 tsp garlic, crushed
3 cinnamon sticks
5 cardamom pods, lightly crushed
3 whole cloves
2 tsp toasted masala
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander seeds
2 potatoes, peeled and quartered
250ml frozen peas

Method:

Heat the oil, add the onions and fry for about 5 minutes, or until transparent. Add the tomatoes and cook for 10 minutes more, or until they begin to break down.

Scatter over the spices and stir to combine then bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes more before crumbling in the mince. Stir to combine then cover and cook gently for 20 minutes before adding the potatoes.

Re-cover and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are almost tender. Stir in the frozen peas, re-cover and cook for 10 minutes more.

Serve hot, accompanied by rotis, boiled rice and sambals.
