Steps:

• Melt the ghee in a flameproof casserole or large skillet with a tight fitting lid. Add the cumin seeds and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds, or until they start to crackle.
• Stir in the onion, garlic and ginger paste, bay leaves and curry powder and continue to stir-fry until the fat separates.
• Stir in the tomatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the coriander, chili powder, turmeric, sugar, salt and pepper and stir around for 30 seconds.
• Add the beef and cook for 5 minutes or until it is no longer pink, using a wooden spoon to break up the meat. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
• Add the peas and continue simmering for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the peas are thawed and hot. If there is too much liquid left in the casserole, increase the heat and let it bubble for a few minutes until it reduces. Serve with rice, if desired.
