Indian Sloppy Joes

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, until it shimmers. Add the chopped onion, saute until translucent. Add garlic and ginger and stir until they cook down, about 1 minute.

Add the diced tomato, cayenne, coriander and cumin. Stir once around to combine. Add beef. Take heat to high and stir beef until it sizzles and is slightly browned (it won’t cook all over, but the idea is to create a slightly browned crust throughout parts of the meat). Add pepper, salt and water and bring meat mixture to boil.

Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat and stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and sugar. Simmer, half covered until meat cooks through and mixture thickens, 8-10 minutes. Turn off heat.

In the meantime, turn on the broiler in your oven.

Separate Hawaiian rolls and split them in half sandwich style. Lay them on lined baking sheets, with the cut sides facing up. Spread with butter. Place under the broiler for 1 minute, or until browned, keeping an eye not to burn.

Take rolls out and place 1-2 tablespoons of meat filling onto bottom part of bun. Sprinkle with cilantro. Cover with the top part of roll.
