How to Make Dry And Spicy Curry

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee or oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, and stir-fry until crisp and light golden brown (about 5-7 minutes). Do not burn.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of your favorite curry powder and 1-2 teaspoons of chili powder (adjust to your spice preference). Stir well to coat the onions.
  3. Add 1 cup of cooked meat (chicken, lamb, beef, or a combination) and/or 1/2 cup of cooked fish (firm white fish works well), cut into bite-sized pieces. Mix thoroughly to combine with the spices.
  4. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt (or to taste) and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until a rich, brown sauce develops.
  5. Serve hot over steamed rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional).
