Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 large Onion, finely chopped
• 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 medium Tomato, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
• 1 unit Green chili, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 unit Lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Heat coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the pan, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, and chopped green chili. Mix well.

Step 5

Add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine all the spices with the beef mixture.

Step 6

Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Cook for another 5 minutes to evaporate some of the liquid, ensuring the kheema thickens to your liking.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an added tangy flavor.
