• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon, grated Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds

• 400 milliliters Coconut milk
• 200 milliliters Water
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 tablespoon Gluten-free soy sauce

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef into 1-inch cubes. Peel the gourd and cut it into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them evenly on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside. In the same pot, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium and add the curry powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the onions with the spices, cooking for 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Return the beef to the pot, mixing it well with the spiced onion mixture.

Step 8

Pour in the coconut milk and water, and add the gluten-free soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the curry simmer for 45 minutes.

Step 10

Add the gourd pieces to the pot, cover, and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the gourd is cooked through.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 12

Garnish the curry with chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot with gluten-free rice or bread.
