Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by marinating the beef with turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Cook the Beef

    Add the marinated beef to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Vegetables and Spices

    Stir in chopped tomatoes, curry leaves, and garam masala. Cook for another 5 minutes until tomatoes soften.

  5. 5

    Add Potatoes and Water

    Add diced potatoes and water to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  6. 6

    Slow Cook

    Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours until the beef is tender and the flavors meld together. Stir occasionally and add more water if needed.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once cooked, adjust salt to taste and serve hot with rice or bread.
