Pakistani Kima (Hamburger Curry)

What a great dish! As if it isn't already a quick fix, I have found a few substitutions can speed up the prep even more. For the potatoes, I usually grab a couple of handfuls of shredded hashbrowns from the freezer. I also like to use diced tomatoes and frozen green beans. My family seems to like it on rice, but tastes great without, too. Likewise, I think the salt could be reduced a little bit without compromising any flavor. Overall, a winner...thank you!

My curry loving kiddos loved this dish. I didn't add the green beans; but otherwise really enjoyed this very easy supper.

This was very good, different from the everyday hamburger dish. I made it exactly as written, except I did not have tomatoes on hand, so I omitted them. This turned out to be full of flavor and I will be making this again. Thanks for a very good recipe.

We have never had a curry before so I chose yours thinking it looked fairly basic. We liked it once we got used to the sweet taste. It was definately something different but good. I will make this again, it has ingredients we always have on hand, thank you for sharing this intresting dish.

3.5 stars. This was good but it did Wow me. My kids did like it so that was a bonus. It was a nice change in the rotation of dinners. Thank you. I added red pepper flakes to my dinner.

Wonderful! I used olive oil instead of butter to saute the onions and garlic, added a green pepper and peas instead of green beans, substituted ground turkey, and upped the spice by a good amount. I'm not sure by how much because I shook in a pretty sizable amount of curry powder. Oh, and I added chili powder for an extra kick. Serving suggestion: Put out a bottle of your favorite hot sauce! Great recipe! Lots of room for improvisation!

Very good! Let's see what were my modifications. Used oil in place of butter since I do not mix meat and dairy. I reduced the salt to one teaspoon, upped the ginger and turmeric to 1/2 teaspoon each. I also used a can of crushed tomatoes and added 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala. This time I made it with ground chicken but will try it vegetarian by using chick peas like a reviewer suggested. Very versatile recipe and very tasty. Great recipe!
Thanks for posting.

My whole family really liked this dish! I used all fresh veggies, but will try frozen peas next time instead of the green beans. May also try with ground chicken to see how that turns out. Thank you for sharing!

This was great b/c it was so simple yet flavorful. I did add a couple of tsp of sugar b/c I tend to favor a sweeter curry. I served it with yellow saffron rice which complimented it very well. Thank you for the great recipe

An excellent template for a quick curry, endlessly variable. I doubled the garlic and curry powder, and use a teaspoon each of pepper and ginger; a 14.5-oz. can of diced tomatoes is a good timesaver.

I have been cooking this for over thirty years. But when I was living with vegetarians, we substituted garbanzo beans for the hamburger. I think it made it even better. My non-vegetarian friends love it and don't miss the meat at all. I highly recommend the More with Less cookbook. It has been my basic cookbook since we got married way back in 1974.

Delicious, and a great change of pace for a week night supper! This was quick and easy to prepare-- my husband helped me (peeling potatoes, crushing garlic) and it went together in no time. I used extra potatoes and no green beans (didn't have any) as well as 2 cans of fire roasted tomatoes. I also "amped up" the spices, adding garam masala as suggested by several prior reviewers and a few extra "dashes" of everything else. Served it with some naan I had in the freezer and a dollop of sour cream. Plain yogurt would have been better (more authentic) but we were all out. Will definitely make this again!

Really really good. This dish is so different from my normal cuisine, that it was also fun to put together. I did add to the spices 1/2 tsp each cumin & paprika, 1/4 tsp each cayenne pepper & cinnamon and 1/8 tsp ground cloves. After tasting it, I wanted a bit more heat and added some crushed red pepper to my plate. Thank you for posting something different for ground meats.

I loved how this recipe was so easy to make and had so much flavor. I was also happy to use up a can of green beans, a can of whole potatoes and a can of diced tomatoes that had been sitting in the kitchen cabinet for months. I live alone and usually cook for just myself so I'm going to freeze the leftovers as some of the other reviewers suggested. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Great recipe! Used 6 potatoes and peas instead of green beans. Next time I'll use even more vegetables to stretch the recipe farther (and leave us with more leftovers!) Also added a bit of Garam Masala per the suggestion of other reviewers. Super mix of flavors! Thanks for sharing Kaarin!

I really wanted this dish to be more authentically indian, including the spices. I doubled all the spices and added chinese chili-garlic sauce to kick up the heat. I also added milk and sour cream to give it more of a creamy curry flavor. I think this is on the right track, but missing some key ingredients.

I loved this! I altered it just a bit -- did 1/2 onion and 1/2 leeks because that's what I had on hand. Added some sambal oelek (chili paste) to kick it up a notch, and some sour cream to offset the chili. :) It was WONDERFUL. What a great, adaptable recipe.
