Keema

It has been a long time since I have posted a recipe. Last time being on Thanksgiving. 
I have been very busy, that I have sort of neglected my blog. Please do forgive me on that.
Today I bring you my recipe for a Pakistani dish called keema. Which is a spicy ground beef served over rice or by itself. ☺️

*2 large onions, chopped 
*2 tbsp garlic powder
*1 tbsp ground ginger
*1 1/2 ground beef 
*2 1/2 tsp ground cumin
*1/4 tsp black pepper 
*1 1/2 tsp salt
*1/2 tsp turmeric 
*1 cup plain yogurt
*3/4 cup milk

1.) In a large skillet, brown the beef. Drain most of the fat. Add the onions and cook until they are soften. Stir in the ginger and garlic.
2.) Add the cumin, turmeric, pepper, and salt to the pan. Stir for 1 minute.
3.) Stir in milk, and yogurt. Simmer for a few minutes.
4.) Done. Serve over basmati rice or by itself. I didn't feel up to making rice last night. Lol.
