Cook the Aromatics & Spices
In the same pot, add onions and sauté 5-7 minutes until golden. Stir in garlic & ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, & cinnamon. Stir & toast the spices for 1-2 minutes.
Build the Curry Base
Stir in tomato paste and mix well. Return the browned meat to the pot. Pour in coconut milk & broth, stirring to combine.
Simmer Until Tender
Add potatoes & carrots, cover, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook until meat is tender and vegetables are soft.
Taste & Adjust Seasoning
Adjust salt, pepper, or spices as needed.
Serve & Garnish
Spoon curry over steamed basmati rice or serve with naan bread. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for extra freshness.
Pro Tips for the Best Curry
For a Thicker Sauce – Let the curry simmer uncovered for the last 10 minutes. For Extra Spice – Add ½ tsp cayenne pepper or fresh chili peppers. For a Deeper Flavor – Use bone-in meat or marinate meat overnight with curry spices. Make It Ahead – Curry tastes even better the next day as the flavors deepen!
