We love curry in our house, so I'm always making different variations. I like the keema curry served at Indian restaurants, so I thought I'd try making it myself.

I used whole cumin seeds, since they have a stronger fragrance and are more authentically Indian than cumin powder.
It's quite a chore to chop up 3 onions, so I use a food processor to save time and effort. You can omit the green peas. If you like it spicy, add some red chili pepper powder. Recipe by mikosanta
