Ingredients:

500g minced beef
200g potatoes, finely diced
250g tomatoes, blanched, peeled and chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
6 tbsp oil
6 whole black peppercorns
6 cloves
1 black cardamom pod, crushed
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/4 tsp ground turmeric
3/4 tsp hot chilli powder
1 tsp ginger paste (or finely-grated ginger)
1 tsp garlic paste (or finely-grated garlic)
1/2 tsp garam masala
2 tbsp finely-shredded coriander leaves
2 green chillies, finely sliced
2 tbsp lemon juice
flat-leaf parsley, to garnish

Method:

Heat the oil in a pan and use to fry the onion until lightly browned. Add the spices and tomatoes and stir to combine. Cook the mixture over medium heat until the water from the tomato has almost all evaporated then add the minced beef and continue cooking until the liquid from the meat has almost all gone.

Add 450ml water, bring to a simmer then cover and cook until the meat is completely tender and almost all the liquid has disappeared (about 25 minutes). Add the potatoes and continue cooking until they are tender (about 15 minutes). Turn the curry into a serving bowl, sprinkle the garam masala over the top then garnish with the coriander leaves (or parsley leaves) and green chillies. Drizzle the lemon juice over the top and serve.
