- 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
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:
- 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.
