Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 Potato (1 large potato, cut in small cubes)
  • 2 Shallot onion (fine chopped)
  • 2 Vine ripen tomato (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp Tomato puree Or tomato concentrate/paste
  • 1 tsp Ginger paste
  • 1 tsp Garlic paste
  • 3 tbsp Oil or ghee
  • 1½ cup Warm water (add more water if needed)
  • Seasonings:
  • ½ tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1½ tsp Garam masala powder
  • ½ tsp Cumin powder (Jeera powder)
  • 1 tsp Chilli powder (Or paprika powder)
  • 1½ tsp Salt (Or add salt according to your taste)
  • ¼ tsp Black pepper
  • To Serve:
  • Cooked basmati rice (Naan/Chappati or Flat bread)
  • Coriander/Cilantro chopped (for garnish)
  • Fresh chilli sliced (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil or ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped shallots and sauté until translucent (about 3 minutes).
  2. Add ginger and garlic paste, stirring constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned (5-6 minutes). Drain excess fat if needed.
  4. Stir in all the dry spices (turmeric, garam masala, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper). Mix well to coat the meat.
  5. Add chopped tomatoes and tomato puree. Cook for 2-3 minutes until tomatoes soften.
  6. Add potato cubes and warm water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
  7. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
  8. If the curry is too thick, add a little more water. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced chilies before serving.
  10. Serve hot with basmati rice or warm naan bread.

Notes

Tips: For extra flavor, toast whole spices (cumin seeds, coriander seeds) before grinding them. Substitutions: Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version. Sweet potatoes can replace regular potatoes. Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat gently with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
