Ingredients

• 450 g lean beef
• 3 medium red potatoes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 400 g canned diced tomatoes
• 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup low-fat plain yogurt
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cutting the lean beef into bite-sized cubes and set aside.

Step 2

Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and peel and grate the ginger. Wash and cut the potatoes into similar-sized chunks.

Step 3

In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant, approximately 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Incorporate the cumin, coriander, turmeric, and red chili powder into the pot with the onions, stirring constantly to prevent burning, for about 1 minute.

Step 6

Add the beef cubes and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides.

Step 7

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes along with their juices, stirring to coat the beef.

Step 8

Add the low-sodium beef broth, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Add the potato chunks and stir to combine. Cover the pot and allow to cook on low heat for about 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 10

Stir in the salt and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste if necessary.

Step 11

Remove the pot from heat, then stir in the low-fat plain yogurt until well combined. Ensure the mixture is not boiling to prevent the yogurt from curdling.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot with brown rice or whole grain naan for a balanced meal.
