• 2 tablespoon ghee/butter/olive oil

Instructions

1. Heat ghee/butter/olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant, then add onion and cook until onion is translucent.
2. Add ground beef, stir and cook until no longer pink. Season with salt, cayenne powder, garam masala, cumin, coriander, and turmeric, mix well and cook for 2 minutes.
3. Add stock/water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a medium. Cover partially, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce is almost dry. Turn off heat, stir in cilantro.
