  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper. In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sauté chopped onions until golden brown.
  2. Add minced garlic and grated ginger; cook until fragrant. Stir in tomato paste and crushed tomatoes; let simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Mix in curry powder, garam masala, cumin, coriander powder, turmeric, and chili powder if using. Pour in beef broth and coconut milk; bring to a gentle boil.
  4. Add seasoned beef cubes, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1.5 hours until tender.
  5. For naan, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a bowl; gradually add warm water to form dough. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth.
  6. Let dough rise until doubled in size (about an hour). Roll into ovals and cook on a preheated baking sheet at 475°F for 3-4 minutes per side.
