Directions

Step 1

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

Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and sauté for about 30 seconds until aromatic.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for another minute.

Step 5

Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the diced tomatoes and all the spices: ground coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper, garam masala, and salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes soften and the spices are fragrant.

Step 7

Add the diced potatoes and mix well with the beef and spices.

Step 8

Pour in the water, bring the mixture to a simmer, and cover the skillet. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
