Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g Vegan beef chunks
- 3 tbsp Coconut oil
- 2 medium, finely sliced Onion
- 4 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 inch, grated Ginger
- 2 sliced Green chilies
- 3 medium, finely chopped Tomatoes
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 0.5 tsp Turmeric powder
- 0.5 tsp Red chili powder
- 1 tsp Garam masala
- 1 tsp (to taste) Salt
- 0.5 cup, chopped Cilantro
- 200 ml Water
- 1 juice Lemon
Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the finely sliced onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced green chilies. Sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the finely chopped tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to break down and become paste-like, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well to coat the onions and tomatoes with the spices.
Add the vegan beef chunks to the pan, stirring to combine them with the spice mixture and ensure they are evenly coated.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pan and let it cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the lid and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to deepen.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt if needed.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of rice or vegan naan.
