Start by heating some vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add your ground beef and cook until it’s browned and crumbly. 🥩 Make sure to drain any excess fat, as this keeps the curry lighter.
Toss in your finely chopped onions, garlic, and ginger. Stir and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions turn soft and translucent. The aroma will fill your kitchen and set the stage for the spices. 🧄🧅
Now for the exciting part! Add curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix them well to coat every bit of the beef with these bold flavors. This step allows the spices to bloom, enhancing their richness. 🌶️✨
Pour in diced tomatoes along with their juice, followed by a dollop of tomato paste. Stir until it combines into a velvety sauce. Then, add your broth, season with salt and pepper, and bring the curry to a gentle simmer. 🍅
For a pop of freshness and color, add frozen peas. Stir them through and simmer for another 2-3 minutes. This step rounds out the curry beautifully. 🌱
Spoon the curry over fluffy rice or serve it alongside warm naan bread. Garnish with fresh cilantro for an extra burst of color and brightness. 🌿
