Ingredients

• 500 grams ground beef
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 0.25 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, sautéed onion and garlic, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, milk, curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, black pepper, and tomato paste.

Step 4

Mix the ingredients gently but thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until well combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the loaf dense.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down evenly to ensure a compact shape.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the loaf reaches 70°C (160°F).

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

Optional: Garnish with chopped cilantro for a fresh, herby finish.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite side dishes such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
