*1 inch ginger minced
*3 tablespoons ground coriander powder
*1 tablespoon ground red pepper
*2 medium beefsteak tomatoes chopped in small chunks
*1 teaspoon paprika
*2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil

*3 jalepeno peppers, de-seeded, julienne cut (for garnish)
*1/2 bunch cilantro, stems off, chopped finely (for garnish)

Steps:

1. Heat oil and fry onions till golden brown. (For fried onions, only add them during step two before adding water). 2. Add meat, ginger, garlic, all spices and 1/4 cup water and stir fry for 15 minutes. 3. Add 1 cup water and let it cook for 30 minutes and then add tomatoes.
