Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Base

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Brown the Beef

    Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Break it up with a spatula as it cooks, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Spices

    Stir in the curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Incorporate the Tomatoes

    Add the tomato paste, canned tomatoes, and coconut milk. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. 6

    Finish with Lime and Cilantro

    Once the curry has thickened, remove from heat and stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve hot over rice or with naan bread.
