Recipes for My Mouth : KEEMA CURRY RECIPE

The wife was away and I thought I'd try something different with beef. She doesn't like me cooking some of the spices with some recipes as the coriander or one of the spices bothers her. Don't get me wrong, the recipes and the food are fine and she likes eating them - its making them and the fumes that bother her. Actually I had gotten a packet of Keema Curry from Shan that I found at a local grocer

In any case, I found a recipe from scratch at this excellent website with tons of recipes.
