Lentil Pork Keema Curry

Directions

1. Heat a medium rondeau over medium to high heat and add the ghee, bay leaves, cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves.
2. Once the spices begin to produce bubbles and sizzle, roughly 2 minutes, add jalapeno and onions. Sauté until onions are translucent, an additional 4-5 minutes.
3. Add ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute.
4. Add pork and lentils, breaking up the pork with the back of a spoon. Brown for 5 minutes.
5. Season with chili powder, garam masala, and mint and cook for an additional 5 minutes on low heat.
6. Cover the pot and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Add tomato puree and water and stir. Cook until the pork is tender and all excess moisture has evaporated.
7. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with a side of rice, lemon wedge, and sliced cucumbers.
