Kenyan Ground Round Curry

This goes really well with spaghetti. It also works really well with 12 ounces of meatless "meat" instead of beef. In Kenya this is called Kima Curry.

Easy and very flavorful recipe. I've made this 2 or 3 times now and it had been a while, and it was even better than I had remembered it. I used the canned tomatoes (drained) and then added the reserved juice in place of the water, only until I had the desired consistency. Something about this creates a very nice thick broth. I served with lavash (along the lines of chapati or injera), so I kept it on the thicker side. I used carrots cooked with cumin and the rest of my tomato juice for a vegetable. Thanks for posting!
