Instructions
- 1Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Heat the vegetable oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat for 1 minute, then add the garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, then sprinkle in the curry powder, turmeric, and red pepper flakes. Stir constantly for 1 minute until the spices are toasted and coat the oil.
- 2Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook over medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned throughout with no pink remaining.
- 3While the beef cooks, peel and cut the russet potatoes into ½-inch cubes.
- 4Pour the beef broth into the skillet and stir well to combine with the beef and spices. Add the cubed potatoes, stir, then cover with a lid and increase heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer covered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- 5Remove the lid and simmer uncovered for 2–3 minutes over medium heat until most of the broth has evaporated and the mixture is thick and saucy.
- 6Stir in the frozen peas and cook for 2–3 minutes over medium heat until the peas are heated through and bright green.
- 7Taste the curry and add salt as needed (about ½ teaspoon). Divide evenly into 6 airtight containers while hot.
- 8Top each portion with sliced green onions just before serving.
