Put the peas in a microwave-safe container and cover them loosely. Microwave until just heated through and bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain, then immediately cover with cold water to stop the cooking, keep the color, and smooth out any dimples or puckers. Set aside.

Heat olive oil in a nonstick frying pan or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add the lamb, onion, and garlic to the oil. Break up the ground lamb into small pieces, stirring with the onion, garlic, and oil. Cover and start browning the lamb slowly. Cook slowly until the lamb is browned and a pool of rendered fat and liquid forms in the bottom of the pan, 10 to 20 minutes. Drain off all fat, oil, and liquids.

Mix parsley, curry powder, cumin, garam masala, black pepper, cinnamon, coriander, ginger, turmeric, and pepper flakes in a bowl, then stir this into the lamb mixture. Cook over low heat until the spices bloom, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the potatoes, tomatoes, and jalapenos. Cover and keep cooking and stirring until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.

Set the lid slightly ajar and let any liquid in the bottom of the pan steam off. Drain the peas and stir them into the keema; the keema will reheat them. Garnish each serving with cilantro leaves.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
