Ghiema is beef or mutton cut into very small pieces, slightly larger than minced meat. For variation, add cubed potatoes and a chopped chilli.

Serves: 6-8

2 large onions, chopped
90 ml vegetable oil
5 ml crushed root ginger
3 ripe tomatoes, skinned and chopped
10 ml crushed garlic
15 ml masala
5 ml borrie
2 sticks cassia
10 ml ground barishap
1 kg ghiema
salt to taste

Method

Sauté onions in oil until golden. Add ginger and garlic and fry for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and spices and cook until a thick sauce is formed.

Wash the meat, drain and add to the curry sauce. Season with salt, close with a tightly-fitting lid and cook over low heat until the meat is tender (about 40 minutes). Serve with roti and sambals.
