Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef (or chicken or lamb)
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or olive oil
- 1 large Onion, finely chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 2 medium Tomato, chopped
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder

- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Heat ghee or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and green bell pepper, then cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes are soft.
Add cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well to coat the meat and vegetables with the spices.
Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove the lid, stir in the garam masala, and cook for an additional 5 minutes to let any excess liquid evaporate.
Finally, sprinkle with chopped cilantro and drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
