Ingredients
- 500 g ground beef or lamb
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 400 g canned chopped tomatoes
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 0.5 tsp red chili powder (optional)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the minced meat to the pan, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until it is browned and no longer pink.
Mix in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, and optional red chili powder. Stir well to coat the meat in spices.
Pour in the canned chopped tomatoes and coconut milk, stirring everything together. Increase the heat to high until the mixture starts to boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Season with salt and black pepper, cover with a lid, and let the curry simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the curry has thickened to your liking, remove from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice.
Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving. Serve hot with rice, naan, or your preferred accompaniment.
