Indian-Style Beef Meatloaf with Garam Masala, Spiced Potatoes, and Curried Peas

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, garam masala, minced garlic, and finely chopped onion. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

3. 3

   Shape the beef mixture into a loaf and place it in a lightly greased loaf pan or on a lined baking tray.

4. 4

   Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until cooked through and the juices run clear.

5. 5

   While the meatloaf is baking, peel and cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.

6. 6

   Heat half of the vegetable oil (1/2 tablespoon) in a skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes, half the turmeric (1/2 teaspoon), and half the cumin (1/2 teaspoon). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sauté for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and cooked through. Set aside and keep warm.

7. 7

   In the same skillet, add the remaining vegetable oil (1/2 tablespoon). Add the peas, remaining turmeric (1/2 teaspoon), and remaining cumin (1/2 teaspoon). Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the peas are heated through and coated with the spices. Season with salt to taste.

   Once the meatloaf is done, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
