Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 1 large onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 200 milliliters water
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt

Instructions
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Dice the tomatoes and set aside.
Heat the cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
Add the garlic and ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, curry powder, paprika, and chili powder (if using). Cook the spices for 1 minute to release their aroma.
Add the minced beef to the pan and break it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and no longer pink.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes break down and combine with the beef.
Slowly pour in the water while stirring. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let the curry simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the plain yogurt and cook for 2-3 more minutes to create a creamy texture.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
