It's a Whole Meal Keema Curry (Beef, Potatoes and Veg) image

I originally found this recipe in a Dutch language curry cookbook, but have changed it up somewhat. It tastes great, is quick and easy to prepare, is an entire meal, and not much to clean up afterwards. I would say the leftovers taste terrific cold the following day, but we rarely have anything to save!
