Masala Beef Mince Ingredients
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 large onion - finely chopped
2 cloves garlic - minced
1 inch piece ginger - grated
500 grams ground beef (minced beef) - preferably organic
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp garam masala
1 cup tomatoes - diced
1 tbsp tomato paste- 1 small green chilli - sliced, optional
½ cup water
1 pinch salt - to taste
¼ cup cilantro (coriander) - fresh, chopped
To Serve
- 4 medium naan bread - store-bought or homemade
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and slightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until aromatic.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until it is browned evenly, about 8-10 minutes.
- Mix in the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, and garam masala, ensuring the spices coat the beef well. Stir for 1-2 minutes to infuse their flavors.
- Incorporate the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and green chili if using, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes.
- Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Season with salt to taste and let it cook for another 10 minutes, until the flavors meld together beautifully.
- Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the beef mince, stirring to combine just before removing from heat.
Notes
- For a less spicy version, omit the green chili or replace with bell pepper for a sweeter note.
- Serve with a dollop of natural yogurt on the side to balance the spices.
- Garam masala can be adjusted according to flavor preference – add more for a spicier dish.
