Ingredients

  • 600 g Mince Beef, lamb, or chicken
  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 1 Onion Finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Garlic Pasta
  • 1 tsp Ginger Paste
  • 2 Tomatoes pureeed
  • 1 tsp Coriander Powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 100 g Yoghurt Frozen
  • 1 Bullet Chilli
  • 1 tsp Dried Fenugreek methi

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet or karahi over medium heat.
  • Sauté the chopped onion until it turns golden brown.
  • Incorporate the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until a fragrant aroma arises.
  • Add the minced meat to the skillet, ensuring it is well-coated with the masala. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the meat is thoroughly cooked, stirring occasionally.
  • Combine the spices and salt. Stir thoroughly to incorporate the spices into the masala mixture.
  • Introduce the pureed tomatoes to the skillet and continue cooking until the oil separates from the masala mixture, which typically takes about 5-7 minutes.
