Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground beef (or turkey)
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
- 100 grams low-fat plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces green chilies, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, ginger, and green chilies (if using) to the pan and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, and pepper, and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Add the lean ground meat to the pan, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
Add the canned diced tomatoes to the pan, stirring well to combine, and let it simmer for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the low-fat yogurt, ensuring it doesn't boil to prevent curdling.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the yogurt integrates smoothly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro just before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice or whole-grain naan for a complete meal.
