Ingredients
Scale
- 500 grams Ground Meat (lamb or beef)
- 2 tablespoons Cooking Oil
- 1 large Onion, finely chopped
- 2 medium Tomatoes, chopped
- 3–4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 inch Ginger, grated
- 2–3 Green Chilies, slit
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
- 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam Masala
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- to taste Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 1 bunch Fresh Cilantro Leaves, chopped
- optional Peas or Diced Potatoes
Instructions
- Heat the cooking oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until fragrant.
- Add the finely chopped onions to the pan and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chilies. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook until they break down and become soft, around 5-7 minutes.
- Add the ground meat to the pan, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently until browned.
- Add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Stir to coat the meat evenly and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- If adding peas or diced potatoes, include them now. Pour in the cup of water, stir well, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes.
- Once the meat is tender and the gravy has thickened, sprinkle garam masala over the top and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro leaves. Serve hot with naan, rice, or your choice of bread.
Notes
- Adjust the number of green chilies based on your spice preference.
- For a richer flavor, use lamb instead of beef.
- This dish pairs well with various types of bread or rice.
