A flavorful and hearty curry dish featuring spiced ground beef and a medley of vegetables, perfect for a comforting meal.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted.
Using unsalted butter allows you to control the saltiness of the dish.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened and fragrant.
Cook the onions until they are translucent for the best flavor.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
Ensure the beef is evenly browned for a richer taste.
Stir in the curry powder, salt, black pepper, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, and chili powder, and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Toasting the spices enhances their aroma and flavor.
Add the diced tomatoes, cubed potatoes, and trimmed green beans to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Cover the skillet and simmer the mixture over low heat for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding a splash of water if needed.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the curry hot with steamed rice or naan bread, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
Serving with a side of yogurt can balance the spices.
