Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless meat (beef, chicken, or lamb)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Onion, finely chopped
• 3 large Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 large Tomato, chopped
• 200 ml Coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 100 ml Water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing the meat thoroughly. Pat it dry with paper towels and cut it into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a large pot or deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the onion and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Introduce the chopped tomato to the mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until it breaks down and forms a thick paste, approximately 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Incorporate the cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and red chili powder into the mixture. Stir well to combine the spices with the tomato and onion base.

Step 6

Add the meat pieces to the pot, ensuring they are well coated with the spice mixture. Cook the meat until it is browned on all sides, about 5-10 minutes.

Step 7

Pour in the coconut milk and water, stirring to mix everything thoroughly. Bring the curry to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and allow the curry to simmer for about 30 minutes or until the meat is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

As the curry nears completion, sprinkle in the garam masala, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it cook for another 5 minutes.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the curry from the heat and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
