Ingredients

• 500 grams Minced meat (lamb or beef)
• 2 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 2 medium, finely chopped Tomato
• 4 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 inch, grated Ginger
• 2 small, slit Green chilies
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon (to taste) Salt
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until aromatic.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chilies to the onions. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Mix in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well to coat the onions in the spices.

Step 6

Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and form a thick paste, about 5 minutes.

Add the minced meat to the pan and break it up with a spoon or spatula. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes.

Step 8

Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover and cook on low heat for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.

Step 9

Sprinkle garam masala over the curry and stir to combine.

Step 10

Turn off the heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Step 11

Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or roti for a delicious and satisfying meal.
