Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, sautéed onion and garlic, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, milk, curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, black pepper, and tomato paste.
Mix the ingredients gently but thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until well combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the loaf dense.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down evenly to ensure a compact shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the loaf reaches 70°C (160°F).
Once cooked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Optional: Garnish with chopped cilantro for a fresh, herby finish.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
