02 - 300 grams medium potatoes, diced
03 - 150 grams chopped onions
04 - 200 grams chopped tomatoes
05 - 2 green chilies, finely sliced

10 - 1 teaspoon cumin powder
11 - 1 teaspoon coriander powder
12 - 1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
13 - 1 teaspoon garam masala

→ Oils and Liquids

14 - 30 milliliters cooking oil (vegetable or olive)
15 - 240 milliliters water

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add chopped onions and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown, developing a sweet and fragrant base.
02 - Incorporate the ginger-garlic paste into the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to release aromatic flavors without burning.
03 - Add chopped tomatoes and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until they soften and the oil begins to separate from the mixture, forming a rich curry base.
04 - Add ground beef or lamb to the pan, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes until thoroughly browned and crumbly, ensuring even cooking.
05 - Stir in turmeric, red chili powder, cumin, coriander, and salt. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes to allow the spices to blend and infuse the meat mixture with depth and warmth.
06 - Add diced potatoes and water, bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and fully cooked.
07 - Sprinkle garam masala and fresh chopped coriander over the cooked dish. Stir lightly before serving to evenly distribute the final seasoning.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Prepare ingredients in advance to streamline cooking. Adjust green chilies to control heat. Use a large skillet for even heat distribution. Leftovers improve in flavor if refrigerated overnight.
