Instructions

1
Heat the Ghee in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until shimmering.
2
Add the onion and cook until golden and softened, 6-8 minutes, stirring so it doesn't catch.
3
Stir in the garlic plus the garam masala, ground coriander and red chili powder; toast for about a minute until the kitchen smells incredible.
4
Add the beef, turning every piece through the spice base so it's fully coated, and sear lightly.
5
Pour in the tomato puree, bring to a gentle bubble, then cover and simmer until the beef is tender.
6
Uncover and reduce until the sauce clings to a spoon. Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon.

Chef's tip

For deeper flavour, toast the garam masala in the oil before adding anything wet.
