Yield This recipe makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons butter, ghee, or olive oil
2 onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons ginger root, grated
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 pounds grass-fed beef or buffalo meat, cut into chunks
1 medium cauliflower, cut into florets
2 cups vegetable broth
1 16-ounce can of tomatoes, chopped*

Steps:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This will give your curry the best flavor.
