• 1 cup organic grass-fed yogurt

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Indian Curry Marinade Recipe Step-By-Step Written Instructions

1. Begin by preparing a mixing bowl or pan for your marinade and add 1 cup of organic grass-fed yogurt into the bowl.

2. Incorporate the following spices into the yogurt:

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon ginger

Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper based on your desired level of spiciness. For a milder taste, use 1/4 teaspoon. For a spicier version, add 1 teaspoon.

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon chili blend mix

1 teaspoon curry powder

1 teaspoon turmeric

3. Pour 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil into the mixture.

4. Add 2 teaspoons of honey to the marinade. This will provide a touch of sweetness while reducing the need for additional salt or sugar.

5. Using a whisk or spoon, thoroughly combine all the ingredients in the bowl until they form a smooth and well-incorporated marinade.

6. The Indian curry marinade is now ready to use. You can choose to marinate thinly sliced beef or any meat of your preference. Place the meat in a container or ziplock bag and pour the Indian curry marinade over it, ensuring it is fully coated. Alternatively, you can transfer the marinade to a squeeze bottle and drizzle it over the meat.

7. For the best flavor, refrigerate the marinated meat for at least 6-8 hours, or ideally overnight. This allows the flavors to infuse and tenderize the meat.

8. Once the Indian curry marinating time is complete, you can cook the meat using your preferred method, such as grilling, braising or pan-frying. Discard any remaining marinade that has come into contact with raw meat.

9. Enjoy your deliciously marinated meat! Feel free to pair it with brown rice , naan, or your favorite Indian side dishes.
