Indian Cuisine: Ground Meat Curry

For the main course, Minoo made a Ground Beef Curry for the Indian theme at the Caring Place Community Kitchen. I did not use beef on the title as most population in India are Hindus who do not eat beef. I do not want to be offensive. You can substitute the beef with other meat like chicken, turkey, lamb or pork.

This Ground Beef Curry is loaded with spices like turmeric, cinnamon, cumin seeds, coriander seeds and dried red chili flakes. Vania, a volunteer for the family services did a research on the benefits of eating spicy food and here are what she found out:

spicy food helps to prevent degeneration of the brain and nervous system
helps with prevention of depression and migraine
helps increase metabolism which is an important factor in weight loss function
use for pain and inflammation management
good for blood circulation
lower blood pressure
cancer prevention (Capsaicin, an active component of chili peppers, attack and kill cancer cells
improve digestion
improve sleep pattern
