Ground Beef Curry (Kima Curry)

This recipe is from one of my new favorite cookbooks, Extending the Table. The notes on this recipe say that this Swahili dish is served by a restaurant in the heart of Nairobi. I have only modified it to make the recipe fit into Zaar format, to preserve the authenticity of the recipe. This is a very mild, very easy to make curry.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

This was a really good curry, ESPECIALLY if you are in a hurry! OK, needed to add more curry spice, As think the taste was really nice, Added more cinamon too, Perhaps is personal taste, but like previous reviewers, I agree was a bit bland TRUE! Used slice tomatoes, worked well for me, But as it started drying up, added more water, was more than OK for me! Would suggest scallion for presentation but not necessary to do, Didn't think it needed 2 tablespoons oil, again might be personal taste for you know who! THANKS! Will DEFINATELY make this again!

    Very good, mild curry. I used a 14 fl oz tin of diced tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes as tomatoes were out of season.

    This was a very good way to do something different with ground beef! I did not have fresh tomatoes, only a can of stewed tomatoes which worked out just fine. I used the refridgerated tortillas instead of "chapatis"...which for all I know, could be the same thing!Will make this again for sure.
