Ingredients

• 500 grams Lean beef or chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 large Onion, finely chopped
• 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 200 grams Tomato puree
• 100 grams Plain low-fat yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 250 ml Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Cut the lean beef or chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a large, non-stick pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, and red chili powder. Stir well to coat the onion mixture with the spices.

Step 6

Pour in the tomato puree and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and add the plain low-fat yogurt, mixing well to avoid curdling.

Step 8

Add the meat pieces to the pan and increase the heat to medium. Stir to coat the meat with the sauce.

Step 9

Pour in the water and season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until the meat is tender and cooked through.

Step 10

Check the curry occasionally, stirring to prevent sticking and ensuring the water doesn't evaporate too quickly.

Step 11

Once the meat is cooked, garnish the curry with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot with a side of steamed basmati rice or warm naan bread.
