Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Cook until the beef is browned, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the chopped tomato, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt.
Add 1 cup of water to the skillet, stirring to combine the spices with the beef mixture.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the frozen peas.
Cover the skillet and let the kheema cook over low heat for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the skillet from heat and adjust seasonings to taste, if necessary.
Finish with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added brightness.
Serve the kheema hot with whole-wheat naan or brown rice for a complete, heart-healthy meal.
