Chicken is leaner and pork is often less expensive.

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

Light coconut milk reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

curry powder

🥗Healthier: homemade spice blend

💰Cheaper: individual spices

Homemade blends can be healthier and tailored to taste.

fresh cilantro

🥗Healthier: parsley

Parsley is a common substitute and dried cilantro is more affordable.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add beef to the pot, browning on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Sprinkle in curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper, stirring to coat the beef evenly.

Add diced tomatoes and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Pour in coconut milk and bring to a simmer.

Add cubed potatoes, cover, and cook until potatoes are tender, about 20-25 minutes.

Stir occasionally, adding water if needed to prevent sticking.

Season with salt and lime juice to taste before serving.

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
