Ingredients: 

• 3 lbs of cubed, bite-sized pieces of lean mean (eg. lean beef, chicken breast, etc.)
• 1 large (or 2 small) chopped red onion
• 1 packet sugar-free karahi spice mix (OR make your own using the following spices:)
  • 2 tsp coriander
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 bunch fresh green coriander, chopped
  • Cayenne pepper to taste
    • MILD: 1 TSP
    • MEDIUM-HOT: 1 TBSP
    • SPICY: 2 TBSP
    • BURN YOUR MOUTH: Anything more! 
• 2 TBSP ginger garlic paste
• 1 large tomato, chopped (or 2 small tomatoes)
• 1 large can of diced tomatoes
• Optional: small whole green chilli peppers for extra spice

Steps: 

1. Placed cubed meat in a large stove-safe pot. Blot meat dry with a paper towel to remove excess juices.
2. Add chopped onion, spice mix packet, and ginger garlic paste. Mix well to incorporate.
3. Transfer pot to the stove. Simmer on medium heat with pot covered, lifting cover to stir occasionally, until the juices from the meat begin to release, and the onions soften completely, approx. 15 mins.
4. Add chopped tomato, and stir to incorporate.
5. Add entire can of diced tomatoes into the pot and mix well.
6. Optional: Stir in a few small whole green chilli peppers into the pot if you want an extra spicy kick!
