Ingredients

• 500 grams lean beef stew meat
• 1 large onion
• 3 none garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 400 grams canned chopped tomatoes
• 200 grams low-fat plain yogurt
• 200 milliliters water
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup fresh coriander leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cut the lean beef into bite-sized cubes and set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 3

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the onions and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and chili powder. Cook for 1 minute to bloom the spices.

Step 7

Add the beef cubes to the pot, stirring to coat the meat in the spice mixture. Cook until the beef is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in the canned chopped tomatoes, yogurt, and water. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 9

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low.

Step 10

Allow the curry to cook gently for 75-90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded.

Step 11

If the curry is too thick, add a little more water; if it's too thin, let it simmer uncovered for a few more minutes to reduce.

Step 12

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 13

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with steamed rice or warm whole wheat naan.
