1
Combine the beef, ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, garam masala, and oil in a bowl, and mix well to coat. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the beef, and cook for about 10 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from the pan, and set aside.
2
In a food processor, combine the onion, garlic, ginger, tomatoes, and chiles. Process until finely chopped. Add to the same frying pan used for the beef, and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes over medium heat. Stir in the cream, add ⅔ cup water, and bring to a boil. Return the meat to the pan, reduce the heat slightly, and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
3
Stir in the chopped cilantro, and serve immediately.

If you want to watch the calories, swap the cream for Greek-style yogurt. To reheat and eat, heat in the microwave on High for 3 minutes, or reheat in a frying pan until piping hot.
