Ingredients
Method
- Start by heating the vegetable oil in a large pan or pot.
- Toss in the cumin seeds and let them sizzle until aromatic.
- Introduce your finely chopped onions to the pan. Sauté until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
- Add in the minced garlic and ginger. Give it about 2 minutes to blend with the onions.
- Now's the time to add your beef. Brown it well on all sides.
- Sprinkle in your spices - the curry powder, turmeric, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Mix well to coat the beef evenly.
- Pour in the chopped tomatoes. They'll bring a lovely tang to your curry.
- Stir and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Pour in the water, season with salt, and let your curry simmer away until the beef is tender and flavorsome.
- Once the beef is cooked to perfection, garnish with fresh cilantro. This not only adds a pop of color but a burst of flavor as well.
Notes
1. Always use fresh spices. They elevate the flavors like nothing else.
2. For a thicker gravy, you can blend half of the tomatoes before adding them to the curry.
3. Adjust the chili to your preference. If you're a fan of heat, feel free to add more.
4. If you like a more pronounced tang, a splash of lemon juice at the end works wonders.
