Equipment

  • wok or skillet
  • Cooking Spoon

Ingredients

  • ½ cup cooking oil (SEE NOTE)
  • 3 onions
  • 2 tsp garlic paste
  • 2 lbs ground beef (SEE NOTE)
  • 6 roma tomatoes (SEE NOTE)
  • 2 tsp red chili powder
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp dhania powder
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garam masala (optional)
  • 2 tbsp kasuri methi (fenugreek)
  • 2 tbsp crushed ginger (SEE NOTE)
  • 4 green chilies
  • 2 tbsp slivered ginger (SEE NOTE)
  • ½ cup cilantro
  • 1 lemon

Instructions

  • Finely chop the onions
  • Heat the cooking oil
  • Saute the onions till they are a medium brown
  • Add the garlic paste and saute for 1 minute
  • Add the ground beef and saute till it's no longer pink
  • Add 4 chopped tomatoes, cover and cook for 10 minutes on medium heat till the tomatoes have melted (the other 2 tomatoes are added at the end)
  • Uncover and turn the flame to high
  • Add the salt, red chili powder, turmeric, cumin, dhania and garam masala (if using)
  • Fry till all the water evaporates
  • Add the remaining 2 tomatoes, crushed ginger and kasuri methi and fry for 3-5 minutes
  • Turn the stove off and add the lemon juice, green chillies, cilantro and stir
  • Garnish with the slivered ginger and serve with parathas or hot naan

Notes

NOTES:

  • If you want a richer flavor add 2 tablespoons of butter.
  • Ground mutton or chicken can be substituted for the beef.
  • Roma tomatoes are best for curries but if not available other tomatoes can be used. If using larger tomatoes, use 3 instead of 6.
  • I don't use garam masala in my recipe but if you like the fragrance then use it.
  • I like to crush my ginger with a mortar and pestle but if you don't own one you can use a food processor or even a grater to crush or grate the ginger.
  • Thinly slice about 2 tablespoons of ginger to use as a garnish. This is about a 1 inch piece of ginger.
