Ingredients

  • 600 g Beef
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 2 Onions finely chopped
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 cm Ginger grated
  • 2 tsp Ground Coriander
  • 1 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 tsp Ground Turmeric
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 1 tsp Garam Masala
  • 1 tsp Salt or to taste
  • 1 tbsp Tomato Paste
  • 2 Tomatoes chopped
  • 4 Tomatoes halved
  • 300 ml Water
  • 1 tbsp Coriander chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, about 8–10 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, chilli powder, garam masala, and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1–2 minutes to toast the spices.
  • Incorporate the beef cubes into the pot, browning them on all sides for about 5–7 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomato paste and chopped tomatoes, cooking for 3–4 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.
  • Pour in the water, ensuring the beef is just covered. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
  • Cover the pot and simmer gently for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender.
  • Add the halved tomatoes to the curry and simmer for 3–5 minutes, just until warmed and slightly softened.
  • Garnish with freshly chopped coriander before serving.
