• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
• 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes (canned, with juices)

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and let it warm up for 1 minute.

Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until soft and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked.

Step 5

Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to coat the beef and let the spices toast for 1 minute.

Step 6

Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juices) and coconut milk. Stir to combine. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then add the green beans. Stir to coat the green beans in the sauce.

Step 8

Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or spices, if needed.

Step 10
