Make something good.

  1. 01

    If the meat is tough, you can simmer it in salted water until tender (30–45 minutes), then drain and set aside.

  2. 02

    In a large pot or pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger, and cook for 1 minute while stirring.

  3. 03

    Add the beef to the pot. Fry for about 10 minutes until browned on all sides.

  4. 04

    Stir in the chopped tomatoes, then let them cook down until soft.

  5. 05

    Add tomato paste, stock cube, paprika, and curry powder. Mix thoroughly.

  6. 06

    Add water, cover the pot, and reduce heat to low. Let it simmer for 30–45 minutes, or until beef is soft and sauce has thickened.

  7. 07

    Add chopped green pepper in the last 5 minutes of cooking.

  8. 08

    Season with salt to taste.

  9. 09

    Garnish with coriander, and serve with rice, porridge, or potato.
