Ground Meat Curry

Ground Meat Curry

This recipe originated with a wonderful cookbook I brought when Puckstopper was starting to more complex meals about 11 years ago. The book was called One-Recipe Three-meal Family cookbook by Sara Lewis. This curry was my favorite recipe from the book. I just passed the book on to La and knew I needed to extract this recipe from it!
